Turmeric powder is made from dried turmeric root. The rhizomes are boiled and dried in a hot oven and then the dried roots are ground to form turmeric. The aroma of turmeric is pungent and earthy. Turmeric is said to have a mild ginger flavor that is slightly spicy and harsh, similar to mustard. It is often used to add more color to flavors. It is a great spice due to its slightly peppery and hot flavor, brilliant color, and preserving properties.
