We grow turmeric and use the fresh organic root here in Costa Rica. It is part of our daily diet in food and drinks. That is a useful tip for others though who don’t have access to fresh root. I added a photo of the flowers below the ginger here.

Tumeric has been a medicinal root for several thousand years in india. Have been researching it more here in California...
Will look more into growing in this region thankyou.

Yes do try and grow some. It’s a beautiful plant as well as healing. Good luck.
