How to Make Turmeric Powder at home

Simple homemade turmeric powder from the fresh roots. You need to boil the fresh roots and then dry them prior to making the powder.
Reasons why Turmeric is boiled before drying?
1. To give a uniform color
2. To remove the raw odor
3. To reduce the time it takes to dry because boiling removes most of the water content in it
Please note that excessive boiling can alter the color.

Basic science: when you boil a herb, spice, or root, you extract the minerals. So, you just poured the minerals down the drain. Therefore, you're getting less than half of the actual Tumeric. The best way to PRESERVE its potency is to bake it at 200-degrees for 20-minutes. Baking it will preserve the nutrients. Unless it's an egg, which the shell protects and preserves the nutrients when you boil anything else you're extracting its mineral concentration. The result is that you're now just eating a colorful powder.

That's what I thought

[@GerelleForbes]

I was thinking that

[@camiealfazsno1459]

That’s what I thought. Look at all the orange nutrients going down the drain.

[@AteWarlhitz]

Thats true

[@ritianawoolcock4755]

You could also grate the tumeric and sun dry it and grind it to make a powder

[@arpishe]

I would suggest to wash and dry and grind so it won’t lose the essence . Curcumin is active ingredient found in turmeric which has very good antibacterial properties

With the leaded paint turmeric powder scandal it is very important to make your own powder, thanks for the recipe!

[@Pennekins]

Thanks for this video. There are other videos too with boiling turmeric as a procedure. But your video is more informative. Curing involves boiling the rhizomes in water for 45 min to one hour, until froth appears at the surface, the typical turmeric aroma is released, and the rhizomes become soft. This is done to gelatinise the starch so the rhizomes dry more uniformly, reducing drying time). This information is from the net.

[@OnyxFoodHill]

Thanks for the enlightenment

[@k-9lover5349]

I just found out that all pkgd turmeric has a lot of "lead" in the spice.. ugh.. I went and bought the root and im going to do what you have done... Thank you💫

Steaming is even better than boiling.... Better retention of Curcumin

[@danushkasiriwardana5093]

You should never Boil the turmeric in water.. it should be Steamed ❤️

[@HG-bu6vh]

Nice video. Keep it up 👍. I would suggest not to put any music in background. It is not making interesting. Just disturbance. We cannot hear your voice.

[@irfanmajeed1]

Two things to ask. 1. Can't we process it without boiling? 2. What's is final output weight of the powder for 1kg of roots ?

[@themogul5442]

Water content of tumeric ia around 25%ish

[@angiejulien546]

Just wash the turmeric,then dehydrate it Grind and sieve after. When you bowl it,it loses nutrients

[@Azariah13]

Could this be just dry it on the stove and just bring if Why it has to be boil it?

[@OnyxFoodHill]

You can still make it without boiling it first, boiling is another method of making the turmeric powder, it helps increase the bright colour

[@blessinggerard1006]

Wow i will try it

[@asimonhill3117]

Great video, how long will the powder last for please?

[@OnyxFoodHill]

I do use mine up to 3 months when ever I make it

[@prasanthx]

Better grind raw turmeric rather than grinding boiled turmeric as boiled turmeric may loose natural quality and curcumin contents...

[@lalithacp4603]

raw turmeric cannot be grinded in mixy grinder available in home. any alternative suggestion bro ?

[@prasanthx]

@@lalithacp4603 make it small pieces and grind in wet grinder

[@TheGourmetHub]

Raw turmeric never dry ,even in small pieces, turmeric have to be little boiled before drying

[@rkulendran]

Steam the turmeric, without boiling them.

[@skinnydee1886]

It's lose, not loose!

[@franciaschweninger956]

Hello i am a little confused with the video because as far as I know if you boil the turmeric root it will loose the quality, so is there a way to make it without boiling it? thank you

[@OnyxFoodHill]

Yes you can still grind the roots without boiling, boiling only helps to enhance the colour and reduce the raw smell of the turmeric roots

[@honeybeesho]

@@skinnydee1886 is it long lasting & cause no harm if we do not boil it...... As traditional methods require boiling

I have dried the turmeric after curing and chopping into thin slices. However, after 2 days of drying it is still having moisture and it feels a little sticky to touch. Is this normal?

[@OnyxFoodHill]

Im so sorry about your experience dearie 🙏 It seems the sun wasn't hot enough to dry it faster hence it has begun to ferment. Check to see if it has formed mold and if not, give it a rinse and dry it again in the oven on very low heat

[@k-9lover5349]

Oven dry on lo temp if you don't have a dehydrater
