Description
Turmeric is known for its rich color, earthy flavor, and versatility in the kitchen—and growing it at home is easier than you might think. Our Turmeric Plugs (Ellepots) arrive as healthy, rooted plants that are already actively growing, eliminating the guesswork of starting from raw rhizomes.
Each turmeric plant is grown in a biodegradable Ellepot, allowing you to transplant directly into the soil or a container without disturbing the roots. Turmeric thrives in warm temperatures and consistent moisture, producing lush green foliage above ground while developing bright orange rhizomes below the surface.
These turmeric plugs are ideal for raised beds, containers, greenhouses, or indoor growing with sufficient warmth and light. Harvest young turmeric for a milder flavor or allow plants to mature for deeply colored, full-flavored rhizomes perfect for cooking, teas, powders, and preserving.
