Small yield of black turmeric (Curcuma caesia) and orange turmeric (Curcuma longa) in Gosford.

Curcuma caesia / black turmermic

It's about the time of the year I'm harvesting my grow bags for black turmeric and orange turmeric rhizomes. This year the yield has been lower than usual. I probably haven't added enough compost to the potting mix. Something I will have to fix for this coming season.

After washing them, I've set them to dry out a little bit in the sun. I will keep some of the black rhizomes for my own use and sell the rest on my online shop. As for the orange rhizomes, I will dry them out and make some powder for cooking.

The large and medium rhizomes can be used for consumption as a natural medicine.
