Fresh Turmeric Root
Fresh turmeric root is the unprocessed rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, a member of the ginger family. Originating in Southeast Asia and South India, turmeric has been used for millennia in both culinary and medicinal traditions. Its flavor is earthy and slightly peppery with a subtle sweetness, reminiscent of mustard but milder. The aroma is warm and musky. When eaten raw, its texture is firm and waxy, but it softens considerably when cooked. Fresh turmeric behaves well in cooking, infusing dishes with its vibrant yellow color and distinctive taste. It is often grated or minced before use and is known to release its full flavor when gently simmered or roasted.
Fresh Serrano Chili
The fresh Serrano chili is a small to medium-sized chili pepper known for its bright green color, smooth texture, and a heat level that is spicier than a jalapeño but milder than a habanero. It offers a vibrant, slightly fruity flavor with a crisp, juicy bite.
