I asked the guy at Whole Foods what the bug-like ginger root-looking things are and he told me they're turmeric roots.
You can grow those things very easily. Like horseradish. Buy a few of the roots right there at the store and just plant them. They'll take over the whole area in no time. They multiply like dividing yeast cells. They look like a bug larva with buds already growing out their sides eager to multiply
YouTube videos say that turmeric is not so easily absorbed but in combination with black pepper the absorption rate is multiplied by 2,000%.
That's an amazing increase.
This is powdered turmeric that I bought a long time ago but never used. I'm starting to really like it.
It stains like the dickens so if you decide to buy the rhizomes then best to wear latex gloves, because everything will become stained.
That's why Indian dancers and Hare Krishna wear yellow. They want you to think its dyed from saffron, but originally their light cotton gowns were white but they made such a mess of themselves grating turmeric they gave up and went with yellow. That's also how the dots got on their foreheads. They itched their forehead and BLAM permanent dot. (<--- I might have made up those last two things.)
It tastes really good. With loads of black pepper.
