{{spice}}

'''Turmeric''', or yellow ginger, is a spice similar to ginger in appearance, but it has a totally different taste, and it gives its characteristic yellow color to the food.

Turmeric is often used as a low-cost substitute for [[Cookbook:Saffron|saffron]]. The color is similar, but the taste is very different.

Turmeric, along with [[Cookbook:Dill|dill]], gives [[Cookbook:Pickle|pickles]] their characteristic taste.

Be careful using Turmeric, as it can overpower a dish easily.
