Is this turmeric suitable for planting?

Absolutely suitable for planting! I never put my Turmeric in the fridge (it will mold) and if I'm slow using it, I plant the ones that sprout. I put water on my turmeric every week or so to keep it from drying out. I let it sit in the water for a few hours, then pour off the excess. If any turmeric sprouts before I can use it, I just stick it in the flower beds or a pot. You'll have a plant in no time....and lots of turmeric. Don't overwater after planting or it'll rot. I also plant ginger this way. You would not believe the size of the ginger roots I get.

What is the best way to store fresh Turmeric?

On the use and time length to consume. I use it in a salad, I cut them in very thin coins, than in quarters . To store I put them in containers with rice vinegar, 3 parts water to vinegar . You can use white wine as with ginger. It lasts me over six months, I also use the storage liquid . I do use both turmeric and ginger at the same time, they work because they are similar plant sisters.

Is this GMO FREE and USDA Organic?

is sold as NON GMO. ORGANIC, and I assume, is true, and they do not use pesticides, etc, REMEMBER that "USDA organic" is an expensive label certification, made by the USDA/ESTABLISHMENT, in detreiment of consumers, trying to make it very difficult and expensive to be certified, and for the POLLUTERS and other non even label or need of certification.

Turmeric from Jamaica is the lowest quality you can find, make sure when purchasing form sellers on this page (There are multiple sellers) that they send you the high quality roots like we do. High quality usually from Hawaii, Figi, California. Emailing the seller is the best way to make sure they are helping then more into selling.

Best Tumeric I have ever purchased

This is the best tumeric root I have ever bought, roots huge and fresh! Do not buy form Star Hill they send roots that are ok sometimes and inferior other times, plus they don't ship 2 pounds like they advertise, they short you 6-7 ounces .

Very nice fresh product, mostly large pieces. But Is it really organic?

Pro: The tumeric I received was fresher than my grocery store carries and also cheaper even with the delivery cost. It was also much dirtier, which doesn't bother me at all. I washed it 4 times.Con: There was no organic certification on the package. I scraped off the skin with the side of the spoon because of that. It would be nice if the seller explained why they are calling it organic. Is it a coop based on trust? Do the farmers know all the organic standards? I am just wondering because no certification came with it.Results: I started drinking tumeric and ginger tea with black pepper about two weeks ago and I feel less stiff and also happier. In addition I feel less inclined to overeat. So that is pretty much a miracle food! I cut about 3 pieces of tumeric and 2 large ginger heads into small pieces and throw some black pepper, boil it lightly for 5 or 10 minutes and then ladle the tea out all day long. I don't skin the ginger. Sometimes I grate the ginger and then use a strainer. The tea is delicious. I often try to get a second batch of the remnants in the pot and go by color and taste to judge. There are a ton of recipes out there for tumeric and ginger tea. Be sure to add black pepper as it is suppose to increase the absorption.

Not fresh!

I have bought from this seller in the past and received good quality turmeric roots that were fresh. This box arrived quickly, but has several rotten and moldy roots in the package, not at all happy with this purchase.
