Ginger and Turmeric
Togo
Available for pre-order from: Summer
1.5 kilos of fresh ginger and 500 grams of turmeric. The root tubers come from the region around the city of Kpalimé. The ginger is a Peruvian variety characterized by elongated tubers and light flesh with a pleasant pungency.
Stored in a cool, dark place, preferably in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator, the rhizomes will keep for at least a month. They are best stored in an airtight container. Make sure that no moisture gets into the container. Sometimes the roots begin to sprout. You can simply remove these spots with a knife. Check the ginger and turmeric roots for cracks and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Use these ones first.
