Preparation :

  1. Harvesting : Turmeric is typically grown in tropical and subtropical regions. The rhizomes are ready for harvesting when they are mature, usually 7-9 months after planting. The leaves and stems are removed, leaving only the underground rhizomes.
  2. Cleaning : The harvested turmeric rhizomes are first cleaned to remove dirt, sand, and other debris. This is usually done by hand or with the help of machines.
  3. Boiling : The cleaned rhizomes are then boiled or steamed to prepare them for drying. This process helps to set the color and flavor of the turmeric. Boiling can take several hours until the rhizomes are soft.
  4. Drying : After boiling, the turmeric rhizomes are spread out in the sun to dry. This can also be done using mechanical dryers. Proper drying is crucial as it reduces the moisture content and prevents the growth of molds and bacteria. The dried rhizomes become hard and brittle.
  5. Grinding : Once the turmeric rhizomes are completely dry, they are ground into a fine powder. This is typically done using grinding machines. The resulting powder is what we know as turmeric powder.
  6. Sieving : To obtain a uniform and fine texture, the turmeric powder may be sieved or sifted through a fine mesh to remove any larger particles or impurities.
  7. Packaging : The final turmeric powder is packaged into various-sized containers, such as bags, bottles, or jars, for distribution and sale. Proper packaging helps to preserve the quality and freshness of the turmeric powder.
