Turmeric

I love turmeric for its aroma, flavor, and medicinal effect. As a matter of fact, I use it in my meals throughout the day. For example, today it is in breakfast oatmeal, in lunch rice, and in dinner millet.

Turmeric is used in many Asian cuisines, especially for curries. Chicken carrot potato onion curry over rice is one of my favorite dish since I was a kid.

Photo above show this turmeric plant in second year growth on this hugelkultur, not irrigated during the dry season. After the raining season started, this plant quickly emerged from the hill mount of wood and wood chips and has been doing very well.
