Turmeric known for it’s wonderful health and

cosmetic benefits is nature’s gift to mankind.

Well,I came across this raw turmeric plants ,

during Pongal ( harvest festival in India) and

thought to plant one and check how it grows.

How?You can check the photo .This yield was

from the smallest pot I had .

I really didn’t know what to do with this,as I

have used only dry turmeric and turmeric

powder.

While at my grocery shopping,I happened to

see this turmeric pickle and I purchased one.

In admitting the fact , that it has a strong

taste…considering the pandemic of recent times

it should be included in your diet.

I searched the Internet and found this recipe,as

I didn’t have the idea of including raw turmeric

in pickles.

So here’s the recipe to the healthy turmeric
