Fresh Turmeric Root (લીલી હળદર)

A knobby subterranean rhizome with light brown skin and vibrant golden-orange flesh, possessing an earthy, warm, and peppery flavor with subtle citrus notes. A popular winter staple in Gujarat, it is pickled in lemon juice and salt (Lili Haldar nu Athanu), grated into rich ghee-based curries (Haldar nu Shaak), and steeped in golden milk. Packed with curcumin, it is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties.
