How should I store curcuma powder?
Keep curcuma powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
How do I prevent curcuma from staining my kitchen surfaces?
Act quickly to wipe up any spills, use gloves when handling fresh root, and consider using dedicated utensils as curcuma stains surfaces easily.
Should curcuma be added at the beginning or end of cooking?
Curcuma is best added earlier in cooking so its flavor melds with the dish and to maximize its color.
Can I freeze curcuma root?
Yes, fresh curcuma root can be frozen whole or grated and stored in an airtight container for several months.

Can I use fresh curcuma root instead of powdered curcuma?
Yes, you can substitute fresh curcuma root by grating or chopping it, but use about 1 tablespoon of freshly grated curcuma for every teaspoon of powder.

A little goes a long way; usually, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per dish is sufficient for flavor and color, but always follow the recipe's recommendations.
