@LifeTimeCooking Home made fermented hot sauce is so tasty. I am glad you are pleased. The complex flavors are a concentrated kitchen treasure. We also dilute during cooking with this variety of concentrated ferment. It’s inspiring what the ingredients have become from the fermentation. You are on top of the world. #fermentation, #garlic, #ginger, #turmeric, #hotchilisauce, #solarpunk, #growyourown.
So, another thing that really sucks about #RFKJr's appointment is that real natural remedies (some based on traditional medicines) could be lumped in with whatever #Idiocracy is spewed out by RFK. For instance, how anti-inflammatory #Turmeric could help prevent dementia, or how #ShikimicAcid from #PineNeedle tea could help with influenza, or how #FermentedFoods could keep us healthy. All backed up with studies.

The price for #Saffron this year seems to be around 3500€/kg for both Spanish and Afghan origin. I just ordered 5 grams to stock up (it lasts very long, as you really only need minuscule amounts). #LifeHack you can also give your rice a nice yellow colour with #Turmeric AKA #Kurkuma. But the saffron aroma is unbeatable, IMHO.
That thing where you cook something with #Turmeric in … and an hour later realise that the kitchen is covered in pretty yellow smidges

Here’s one for the ‘markets can self-regulate’ crowd.
Turmeric in South Asia is treated with lead, enhancing colour but causing incurable disease & premature death in millions.
In Bangladesh, it took a massive coordinated campaign of government policy, legal action, education & raids on stores, markets & producers to stop it.
Vox · Lead poisoning kills millions annually. One country is showing the way forward.
"...in the wake of this public campaign to expunge lead from turmeric, they’ve found that turmeric samples testing positive for lead dropped from 47% to 0%."

@appassionato Another reason to drink anti-inflammatory #Turmeric / #Ginger tea (with a peppercorn). My thinking is that #Curcumin (found in both ginger and turmeric) helps to reduce the inflammation (and gum disease -- which I have NO issues with).

As I was pulling weeds the other day, I pulled up this rhizome that past-me had planted.
Can you tell what it is from the images below?
____________________________
ANSWER:
It is turmeric (olena, as it's called locally)!
The rhizome pieces are smaller than ginger, and break off much easier. In pic 2, you can see the bright orange/yellow interior. I also smelled the rhizome and it smells like other turmeric I've grown. The rhizomes of zingiberaceae often have unique and specific smells that can aid in identification, so I always try to smell them. My favorite so far is cardamom rhizome, which is just heavenly 
(galangal is my least favorite. Sorry galangal-lovers! 
)
Pic 3 shows a new shoot, but it's not big enough to aid in identification between say, an edible ginger and cardamom (at least not to me). When the shoots & leaves are larger, it's pretty easy to tell the difference.
New batch of turmeric paste with improved recipe.
Turmeric paste turns out to be really useful, at least for my sort of cooking. Recipe makes 10 fl. oz. / 295 ml.
