I’m so glad that I found your TH-cam channel. I have been wanting to grow turmeric to turn it into a powder. I buy so much of the product, it’s nice to know that I can grow and process all of this at home. Thank you so much for the video.
Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil. I make turmeric powder. Low temperature helps to keep the nutrients. It's better not to boil. I ja e a Sun Drier that bake the products slowly under the sun. It last for o e a year when dehydrate. It keep the food nutrients. When you boil you loose some food nutrients. Keep up the good work.
great video!! I was trying to see the difference between boiling and non boiling (just using a dehydrator). This was very clear and informative. I will be using the non boiling and dehydrator method
I was very interested in how turmeric was produced. This is an information feast on the subject narrated by a very jolly and friendly man. Well done sir, you have produced a clear and easy to listen to video. Thanks for posting :)
@@achodograce4547 That you'll have to research for yourself sorry. My understanding is that using it as a spice frequently will in itself impart some therapeutic properties but as to which one's, I'm not 100% sure sorry.
Thanks much for this clear, precise, informative video, and also for the comparison. I’m new to the amazing benefits of turmeric and appreciate vids that are this clear. Huge thumbs-up!
Thanks so much for this video, my sister grows a lot of turmeric on their small farm in south east QLD and she always makes the golden paste for me, now I can share this so I can enjoy the powder. Great info and keep it up Rob
Will know soon on the harvest. Trying to lengthen my growing time a bit. Will be harvesting within the week. I think we all have lots of irons in the fire and it makes it tough to do it all. Thank you for keeping up with me.
Thank you for this video. I'm about to throw my store bought turmeric powder in the trash and only make fresh from now on because I heard some companies started adding lead powder to turmeric spice to add to the weight to get more for the pound and the FDA can't regulate this since they don't consider spice a food!!! O.O
Thanks to the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA), the FDA now regulating spices as a food. www.fda.gov/food/foodscienceresearch/risksafetyassessment/ucm487954.htm
I'm going to give you some golden advice (excuse the pun). Do NOT add bicarb to your turmeric at any point during the process unless you want to destroy and lose the curcumin! A Bicarb solution is highly alkaline and high pH destroys curcumin. Let me explain.. Notice when you add the bicarb and boil the water it eventually turns a dark red, that happens because the high pH dissolves the curcumin and draws it out of the root. The reason Curcumin turns red then black is because it deprotonates. In other words, the part of the curcumin molecule (the OH groups) that is responsible for reflecting the yellow wavelength of light (which gives it it's distinct orange/yellow colour) degrades and donates a hydrogen ion, when this happens it changes colour it loses its therapeutic properties such as it Antioxidant ability (ie, ability to donate an electron which it's now just lost to the alkali). You can also easily see this when you chop up some turmeric and add bleach to it. Bleach is highly alkaline it will turn the turmeric red and black and destroying the curcumin in the process. Understand also that curcumin is practically insoluble in water which is why even though boiling turmeric will increase curcunins water solubility a little you will still only lose about 2-10ug/ml of curcumin out of the root onto the water ,and probably even less if you left the skin on. But when you add an alkali, your actually making the curcumin more soluble (curcumin dissolves in alkali conditions) so you draw more curcumin from the root and into the water where it is destroyed and lost. Your friend mentioned adding the bicarb gives it more "colour" that is simply because some of the alkali solution is being absorbed by the turmeric root and it's curcumin is being darkened due to some alkali induced degradation. Taking the skin off then boiling in an alkali condition only allows more of the alkali to penetrate the root allowing more curcumin to be destroyed or lost, hence your darker turmeric roots when booking them skinned. (Btw; I'm a PhD researcher and work with curcumin in the lab).
Mr nutrisophic I am from India and you know how much turmeric we consume I used to add it in milk but since I heard that turmeric contain lots of oxolate I skip it , is it possible to reduce oxolate before making powder ? I would appreciate if we give me answer
Hello NutriSophic sir, can u please give more info on turmeric processing... Like, how much time it should be boiled so that it should not loose it's circumin.... I have also heard that instead of boiling we can give steam also, so which is the correct procedure.... Please let me know about it. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Thanks Rob, great info and interesting comparison between boiled and raw root. I have a similar dehydrator with the mesh trays and use baking paper for things that either shrink (like chilies and small tomatoes) or when doing fruit leather.
Hi Debra. Your comment slipped through the cracks here, sorry about that. Have been doing the same here & had a fiend just recently offer us some silicone cooking mats too that should do the same job. Cheers & all the best. Rob.
Hi there. My dad has found it works well at stopping his flare ups. He likes to eat it as a fresh vegetable & adds thin slices to a lot of his steamed meals. Cheers & hope all's well with you.
Good, very Good video comparison. So I am taking away that you are now using not the boiled method, but only the drying method. Just subscribed, God Bless
Hi Carol. I will just dehydrate the sections now as we heat it during cooking which helps to activate the compounds in the rhizome. I would boil it first if I was drying it for powder to be used in remedies like golden paste. It's easier to boil whole rood beforehand compared to boiling the water & powder mix for 30-40 min when you make up the paste. Hope that helps some.
we have been growing turmeric since i remember and it is in all our Indian dish. I would say don't add bicarbonate . just boil , sun dry and powder,. this is mainly done to reduce the strong flavor of fresh turmeric and slightly increase the shelf life specially in humid Indian climate
I learned many years ago in Home Ec. that Baking Soda added to boiling water for preserving the color of veggies actually destroys nutrients, so this is something I would definitely revise in the process. I am wondering, though if the boiling in necessary to obtain medicinial benefits - something to research.
Mum would always put bi carb in the water she boiled peas in to retain their colour :) I have a yellow turmeric I just planted. To be honest, I haven't used turmeric in the past, but I will now :)
I have both the frozen and powder, We are mostly only using the powder now, Don't think I well be freezing any more, For us the powder is the way to go. It is a little bit of work to make but not a big deal. That ginger is looking good,

A lot of cooks use bicarb to retain vibrant green color of vegetables during cooking, however that destroys the nutritional value of the vegetable. I thought the raw processed powder looked perfect👍👍.

Bumped into your channel searching around. How interesting! Thank you Rob! Subscribed already. Also got a channel which started last year...hope yo grow it fast, but no niche at the moment.
Go for it TP. I would suggest that you don't worry about boiling it if you want to use the powder for cooking. Is a lot faster to process & taste a bit better I think.
Thank you for sharing this very helpful video! i would like to ask you in regards of storing, can i refrigerate raw fresh grind turmeric with olive oil in a jar for daily use? i am very new with turmeric uses! any advice will be very helpful and appreciated. ☺
Very helpful. Would like some information as to exactly when turmeric is ready to be harvested. I have been told that you wait until the leaves are virtually all dead, then dig up the rhizomes ? Thanks
Sorry I missed your question. I wait until the plant dies off as it cools down but you can also harvest the root as you need it. We also leave the plants in the ground to over winter so we can pick it fresh as needed. Hope that helps.

@@RobsAquaponics Rob, I ended up washing and dehydrating some organic tumeric. I gave it a zing in the Magic Bullet blender and filled them into capsules. It's winter in Toronto Canada right now so I bought the tumeric but when it warms up I will grow my own.

Am glad your finding the clips useful. 😊 I would like to find someone that could translate the subtitles for me once we have them all sorted out so others around the world can get more from our clips. Hope all is well with you. Rob.
Thank you Rob, I really appreciated you took the time to show us both. I wonder why you have to add in Baking Soda while boiling. Any how, I will slice them with the skin on and blend. I will never buy the Turmeric powder again as it has lots of chemicals added in them. At home I just blend the fresh turmeric then fill it into my old ice tray for 24 hrs. Then remove and keep them in a air tight bag.
The soda is supposed to help preserve the colour. Not a necessity at all. I prefer to use it fresh as well & don't think I'll be preserving mus=ch at all from now on with the amount of plants we have o the go. Will still keep some paste frozen in the freezer for when I don't feel like nipping out to do a late night harvest. 😉👍 Cheers & have a top one Rebecca.
Thank you so much Rob, I sun dried them as in Penang, we have sun everyday. I sun dried and must blend at once as once too cooled, it will be rubbery. Now I can make turmeric powder or ginger powder any time ! Going to make Chili powder days later. Better to make them ourselves. Thanks again for sharing .
Thanks Bob for such a nice video. My question is do we have to peel the turmeric before drying. I peeled,boiled and the sundried the turmeric. But the colour was not good.
Online plant stores will have sections for growing. You can also grow from sections bought at the market. Try to get "organic" roots if you can as they won't have any sprout inhibitor sprayed o them if that allow that in your country. Happy growing.
Nice video, was there much difference in the taste? I will try to find some to plant next year so this is extremely helpful. Ive only ever had the powder so I don't know which method would be more "beneficial" but if I saw some people drying it raw and others boiling it...I would combine the methods and "blanch" it. Unless you are trying to get rid of bitter or undesirable element. But if you can eat it raw Ill assume it tastes good.
Everyone that has tried both of ours says they have a much fuller flavour when compared to the other store bought ones they are used to. Mum & dad prefer the powder made from the raw dried root & have almost used it all up in their slow cooker meals. Will be giving them what we have left as a gift I think. ;) The yellow variety we have is much more bitter than the orange so wouldn't eat it raw but have no issue with this orange one at all. Can be a bit too much for our girls so have never added a lot into meals raw. Hope that helps a bit & sorry it took so long to reply to you. Cheers, Rob.
I bought it from Green Harvest at the Sunshine coast Syd. You can also grow it from store bought root as well if that helps. th-cam.com/video/90zjyharSEM/w-d-xo.html Sorry I missed your question mate. Cheers.
Not in most climates Nancy. Tropical climates would be about the only place it would grow year round. This clip may help you some. th-cam.com/video/90zjyharSEM/w-d-xo.html

I try & use Babelfish or Google Translate for most of the non English comments. Sometimes the results can me rather funny when folk use local slang I found.
Cheers 👍
Hola, Martha.
Alegro de su búsqueda de los clips útil. 😊 me gustaría encontrar a alguien que pudiera traducir los subtítulos para mí una vez que tengamos todos ellos ordenados a cabo para que otros usuarios de todo el mundo pueden obtener más de nuestros clips.
Espero que todo está bien con usted.
Rob.
Hello Martha.
Am glad your finding the clips useful. 😊 I would like to find someone that could translate the subtitles for me once we have them all sorted out so others around the world can get more from our clips.
Hope all is well with you.
Rob.
Thank you Rob, I really appreciated you took the time to show us both. I wonder why you have to add in Baking Soda while boiling. Any how, I will slice them with the skin on and blend. I will never buy the Turmeric powder again as it has lots of chemicals added in them. At home I just blend the fresh turmeric then fill it into my old ice tray for 24 hrs. Then remove and keep them in a air tight bag.
The soda is supposed to help preserve the colour. Not a necessity at all. I prefer to use it fresh as well & don't think I'll be preserving mus=ch at all from now on with the amount of plants we have o the go. Will still keep some paste frozen in the freezer for when I don't feel like nipping out to do a late night harvest. 😉👍
Cheers & have a top one Rebecca.
Thank you so much Rob, I sun dried them as in Penang, we have sun everyday. I sun dried and must blend at once as once too cooled, it will be rubbery. Now I can make turmeric powder or ginger powder any time ! Going to make Chili powder days later. Better to make them ourselves. Thanks again for sharing .
Teşekürler sakalı adam zerfeçalı nasıl kurutacagımı bilmiyorum 🙏🙏👍🇹🇷
Thanks Bob for such a nice video. My question is do we have to peel the turmeric before drying. I peeled,boiled and the sundried the turmeric. But the colour was not good.
No need to peel it if you don't want to Archna. 👍
Cheers.
@@RobsAquaponics thanks
where can you purchase your cocorna longa turmeric root to propagate?
Online plant stores will have sections for growing. You can also grow from sections bought at the market. Try to get "organic" roots if you can as they won't have any sprout inhibitor sprayed o them if that allow that in your country.
Happy growing.
Nice video, was there much difference in the taste? I will try to find some to plant next year so this is extremely helpful. Ive only ever had the powder so I don't know which method would be more "beneficial" but if I saw some people drying it raw and others boiling it...I would combine the methods and "blanch" it. Unless you are trying to get rid of bitter or undesirable element. But if you can eat it raw Ill assume it tastes good.
Everyone that has tried both of ours says they have a much fuller flavour when compared to the other store bought ones they are used to. Mum & dad prefer the powder made from the raw dried root & have almost used it all up in their slow cooker meals. Will be giving them what we have left as a gift I think. ;)
The yellow variety we have is much more bitter than the orange so wouldn't eat it raw but have no issue with this orange one at all. Can be a bit too much for our girls so have never added a lot into meals raw.
Hope that helps a bit & sorry it took so long to reply to you.
Cheers,
Rob.
I wonder if "juicing" the tumeric through an auger style juicer would work?
We had added small sections to juices in the past using both the mesh & auger units Clive. Both looked to extract a fair amount.
Cheers.
Hi Rob... I can't seem to find tumeric roots anywhere. Where did you get your first supply?
I bought it from Green Harvest at the Sunshine coast Syd. You can also grow it from store bought root as well if that helps.

Sorry I missed your question mate.
Cheers.
Good stuff Oz :) Thanks man.
Hope to be able to do more drying we do wild mushrooms started that last year looking forward to doing that thats fun stuff and good eating ;-)
Have you shown the drying in a clip Dave? It's very possible I've missed it :/
Cheers mate.
No clip for that. Just sliced and in the dryer over night. Not a lot to see.
Amazing ❤️
Cheers Sonia. 👍
awesome video
Cheers Bret.👍😊
Can turmeric grow outdoor all year round ?
Thanks
Not in most climates Nancy. Tropical climates would be about the only place it would grow year round.
This clip may help you some.

Awesome thanks heaps Rob
No problem Sharon.
Have a top one.
Subscribed. Love your video. :)
Thanks Sheri.
Cheers & all the best.
What happens if you don't dehydrate it? Like cut it into small chunks and then grind it?
It turns into a paste that you can freeze or use straight away. 👍 We tend to do that as it's a lot faster & has a better flavour .
The boil water is full of nutrients. No reason to discard the larger chunks either. I’d use them both
We let water we boil them cool down then use it to water plants out the back. I figure we might as well give it back to the plant. 😉
