Fresh vs Ground Turmeric
The difference between fresh ginger and turmeric powder
There is turmeric in the world, which is divided into fresh and powder. Fresh, the shape and color are all good, the color is yellow and moist, the texture is fresh and tender, like the delicate core of the first bloom, its qi is clear and finnish, and the smell is refreshing. When taking fresh ginger, the hand touches it, smooth and slightly moist, and its body still contains the essence of nature. If the spring is moist, the vitality is hidden.
The powder is made of fresh ginger yellow after being processed and ground. Looking at its color, although yellow is slightly less bright than the fresh one, it seems to have been washed over the years, and it is a little more calm. To touch it, it is as delicate as dust, without the moisturizing of fresh turmeric, but it also has the softness of a powder. Its qi is processed, and compared with the fresh ones, it is rich and mellow, like the fragrance of aging, restrained and deep.
In terms of its use, fresh ginger in the kitchen can add unique freshness to delicacies. Add fresh turmeric to the soup, the soup taste is fresh, and the yellow is attractive, as if incorporating the freshness of spring into it. And turmeric powder, because of its delicacy, is easy to spread evenly. When baking or pickling, it can make the taste more mellow and uniform, just like carefully embroidered fine patterns on the brocade of food.
Medicinal wonders, fresh ginger yellow contains more natural activity, and its heat-clearing power is slightly better, such as a babbling stream, slowly clearing away the heat. Turmeric powder has been processed, and its effect of promoting blood circulation may be more prominent. It is like a stable general, directly impacting the stagnant camp.
The world chooses it, when needed. For fresh taste and natural vitality, fresh ginger is better; if it has a mellow flavor and strong medicinal power, turmeric powder can be selected. The two have their own advantages, such as double brilliance, adding luster to life together.
