How to Make Turmeric Powder from Fresh Home Grown Root.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2016
- Hi folks. Decided to make up some turmeric powder from the plant harvested from the aquaponics a few weeks back & thought it might interest a few people out there.
Below are some links to research papers on the health benefits of turmeric.

I’m so glad that I found your UA-cam channel. I have been wanting to grow turmeric to turn it into a powder. I buy so much of the product, it’s nice to know that I can grow and process all of this at home. Thank you so much for the video.
Thank you for the advice.
Turmeric, cracked black pepper and Coconut oil made into a paste has amazing healing properties 🙏🏻
Am glad the video has helped some.
Cheers & stay well. 👍
Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
I make turmeric powder. Low temperature helps to keep the nutrients. It's better not to boil. I ja e a Sun Drier that bake the products slowly under the sun. It last for o e a year when dehydrate.
It keep the food nutrients. When you boil you loose some food nutrients.
Keep up the good work.
Sometimes it take a bit of heat to make some nutrients available too.
Cheers.
great video!! I was trying to see the difference between boiling and non boiling (just using a dehydrator). This was very clear and informative. I will be using the non boiling and dehydrator method
I was very interested in how turmeric was produced. This is an information feast on the subject narrated by a very jolly and friendly man. Well done sir, you have produced a clear and easy to listen to video. Thanks for posting :)
Thanks Alan.
Cheers & all the best.

@@RobsAquaponics thanks for this very useful info on tumeric. Am interested in processing tumeric for theraputic purposes, how do I go about it?
@@achodograce4547 That you'll have to research for yourself sorry. My understanding is that using it as a spice frequently will in itself impart some therapeutic properties but as to which one's, I'm not 100% sure sorry.
You're a scientist now ;) great experiment and info
Very cool! thanks for the comparisons between the various ways of prepping and drying the turmeric too. (good job not forgetting the "control!")
Hi there & thanks.
All the best Torrey.
Cheers.
Thank you for showing us the boiled & raw powdered tumeric, thumbs up Rob
Thanks alot for showing both the methods of powdering our terrace grown turmeric. My mother had taught me to do the boiled method.
Thanks much for this clear, precise, informative video, and also for the comparison. I’m new to the amazing benefits of turmeric and appreciate vids that are this clear.
Huge thumbs-up!
I'm going to give you some golden advice (excuse the pun). Do NOT add bicarb to your turmeric at any point during the process unless you want to destroy and lose the curcumin! A Bicarb solution is highly alkaline and high pH destroys curcumin. Let me explain..
Notice when you add the bicarb and boil the water it eventually turns a dark red, that happens because the high pH dissolves the curcumin and draws it out of the root. The reason Curcumin turns red then black is because it deprotonates. In other words, the part of the curcumin molecule (the OH groups) that is responsible for reflecting the yellow wavelength of light (which gives it it's distinct orange/yellow colour) degrades and donates a hydrogen ion, when this happens it changes colour it loses its therapeutic properties such as it Antioxidant ability (ie, ability to donate an electron which it's now just lost to the alkali).
You can also easily see this when you chop up some turmeric and add bleach to it. Bleach is highly alkaline it will turn the turmeric red and black and destroying the curcumin in the process.
Understand also that curcumin is practically insoluble in water which is why even though boiling turmeric will increase curcunins water solubility a little you will still only lose about 2-10ug/ml of curcumin out of the root onto the water ,and probably even less if you left the skin on. But when you add an alkali, your actually making the curcumin more soluble (curcumin dissolves in alkali conditions) so you draw more curcumin from the root and into the water where it is destroyed and lost. Your friend mentioned adding the bicarb gives it more "colour" that is simply because some of the alkali solution is being absorbed by the turmeric root and it's curcumin is being darkened due to some alkali induced degradation. Taking the skin off then boiling in an alkali condition only allows more of the alkali to penetrate the root allowing more curcumin to be destroyed or lost, hence your darker turmeric roots when booking them skinned. (Btw; I'm a PhD researcher and work with curcumin in the lab).
Thanks for the info NutriSophic 👍
Mr nutrisophic I am from India and you know how much turmeric we consume I used to add it in milk but since I heard that turmeric contain lots of oxolate I skip it , is it possible to reduce oxolate before making powder ? I would appreciate if we give me answer
@@-AryansinhChauhan Heating is used to remove oxolates from produce .
Hello NutriSophic sir, can u please give more info on turmeric processing... Like, how much time it should be boiled so that it should not loose it's circumin.... I have also heard that instead of boiling we can give steam also, so which is the correct procedure.... Please let me know about it.
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Very good information
Outstanding reveal! Thanks mate!
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Have a top one Craig.
Thanks so much for this video, my sister grows a lot of turmeric on their small farm in south east QLD and she always makes the golden paste for me, now I can share this so I can enjoy the powder. Great info and keep it up Rob
That's great to hear Rachel. Does she sell it commercially too?
Sorry it took a while to get back to you.
Rob.
That was a very informative, well thought out and beautifully edited tutorial Rob! Thank you for taking the time to make these high quality videos. Your Patreon page looks fantastic too! I look forward to sharing notes on using the Patreon platform :)
Hi Blake & thanks mate. This style of clip takes a bit of work but is very satisfying to see them get the information across to folks that are interested.
Cheers mate & all the best.
Rob.
Great
@@RobsAquaponics you contact number send me sir plz
@@jatanreddy6967 I don't share my personal number sorry.
Hope you understand.
Thank you for this video. I'm about to throw my store bought turmeric powder in the trash and only make fresh from now on because I heard some companies started adding lead powder to turmeric spice to add to the weight to get more for the pound and the FDA can't regulate this since they don't consider spice a food!!! O.O
www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm515328.htm
Thanks to the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA), the FDA now regulating spices as a food.

gladly i found your information video. I always throw the boil turmeric tea after I used to drink it.
Hope the clip helped BB. 😁😁
Just wanted to share with you, the turmuric is now up. First time planting after your email and it's doing great. Thank you.
That's great Marcheta. How did the harvest go? Hope it was a good one for you.
Cheers & sorry for taking ages to get back to you.
Rob.
Will know soon on the harvest. Trying to lengthen my growing time a bit. Will be harvesting within the week. I think we all have lots of irons in the fire and it makes it tough to do it all. Thank you for keeping up with me.
I know the feeling there. Always something to do & not enough hours in the day :/
Cheers & all the best.
I enjoy watching your videos thank you for all your information, my friend I will keep coming back.
Am glad you're enjoying the clips. 👍🙂
Have a top one Zoey & Chauncey.
Thank you Rob! I have been wanting to know how to do this!
Is fairly straight forward Luke. Bust to do it low & slow I think.
Cheers.
Thanks Rob, great info and interesting comparison between boiled and raw root. I have a similar dehydrator with the mesh trays and use baking paper for things that either shrink (like chilies and small tomatoes) or when doing fruit leather.
Hi Debra. Your comment slipped through the cracks here, sorry about that.
Have been doing the same here & had a fiend just recently offer us some silicone cooking mats too that should do the same job.
Cheers & all the best.
Rob.
Thank you Rob Bob. Very well presented.
Am glad you enjoyed it :)
Cheers & have a great one,
Rob.
I learned many years ago in Home Ec. that Baking Soda added to boiling water for preserving the color of veggies actually destroys nutrients, so this is something I would definitely revise in the process. I am wondering, though if the boiling in necessary to obtain medicinial benefits - something to research.
we have been growing turmeric since i remember and it is in all our Indian dish. I would say don't add bicarbonate . just boil , sun dry and powder,. this is mainly done to reduce the strong flavor of fresh turmeric and slightly increase the shelf life specially in humid Indian climate
Thanks for that mate. I was told the bicarb helped to retain the colour. Now we just turn it into paste & use it fresh.
Cheers.
Sir thank you kindly for making this video. I love how you did different ways
You are very welcome.
Good, very Good video comparison. So I am taking away that you are now using not the boiled method, but only the drying method. Just subscribed, God Bless
Hi Carol. I will just dehydrate the sections now as we heat it during cooking which helps to activate the compounds in the rhizome.
I would boil it first if I was drying it for powder to be used in remedies like golden paste. It's easier to boil whole rood beforehand compared to boiling the water & powder mix for 30-40 min when you make up the paste.
Hope that helps some.
This is one of your great video shares. Thanks for doing a video about the processing of your roots.
Hi Tim & thanks mate. Hope it has helped you out in some way.
Cheers & have a great one.
Rob.
Its very useful video... thank you for this clear explanation ...❤
You are welcome 😊
The ginger looks great, Rob! Looking forward to seeing that harvest.
:D I think you may of by now ;-) Am a tad slow at catching up on a few clips :-/
Cheers Chris.
I tried it raw sun dried then blended and it's great.
Nice one Eunice. 👍😁
Helps alot. Many thanks for the video.
Great clip on turmeric
Thanks for the great info! Very comprehensive.
Thank you very much for showing these two methods. That was very brilliant. Great job and thank you
Glad you enjoyed it & found it helpful Nnenna. 👍
Nice presentation, this is very helpful to me
Glad it was helpful Nilma.

How well explained Sir 🙏🙏🙏
Am glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers & have a top one.
thanks for this clip. I'll be definitely sending you a photo of my turmeric when its next season. now to get a dehydrator.
:-D That would b great Elizabeth 👍 I really need to get stuck into processing the rest of the ginger now :/
Cheers.
Always enjoy seeing your videos pop up in my youtube subscriptions
Am glad you're enjoying them Max👍
Hope all's well mate.
Cheers.
Rob,
Ya done good to answer my question to leave skin on or not which I will do for smaller pieces. Much thanks.
Glad to have been able to help some.
Cheers.
nice preparation
Thanks. 👍😁
Cheers & have a top one.
thank u so much rob for your time in making this wonderful informative video.
Cheers point blank.
Have a top one.
great video. thank you for all the great information
Mum would always put bi carb in the water she boiled peas in to retain their colour :) I have a yellow turmeric I just planted. To be honest, I haven't used turmeric in the past, but I will now :)
I'm not sure I'd worry about boiling it next time Carol. Might just slice it then dehydrate it I think.
Hope you had a great weekend.
I have both the frozen and powder, We are mostly only using the powder now, Don't think I well be freezing any more, For us the powder is the way to go. It is a little bit of work to make but not a big deal. That ginger is looking good,
Much easier to store I think Paul. Would rather store the ginger in the freezer here as we don't have a lot of space.
Cheers mate.
A lot of cooks use bicarb to retain vibrant green color of vegetables during cooking, however that destroys the nutritional value of the vegetable. I thought the raw processed powder looked perfect👍👍.
Will be drying it raw from now on I think. Everyone that's tried it said they preferred the raw powder ;-)
Cheers & thanks my friend.
Thank you for sharing this very helpful video! i would like to ask you in regards of storing, can i refrigerate raw fresh grind turmeric with olive oil in a jar for daily use? i am very new with turmeric uses! any advice will be very helpful and appreciated. ☺
this was a super cool video Rob Bob, thanks.
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it.
👍😊
youre amazing Rob, i enjoy the condensed experiences expertly explained and delivered, literally not a single useless statement to be found! thank you keep up the excellent work.
p.s. that beard is impressive, stay dapper fam
Thanks Azza. Trying to put in as much information as I can but still making them interesting to watch can be a bit of a challenge at times. Bead needs a bit of a trim. Looking a bit too much like Ned Kelly at the moment ;-)
Cheers mate & all the best.
A little smirk when he said sniff the powders
😁😁
Very good information. I would try raw and sun dry by cutting as wafers.
Thank you! I accidentally bought turmeric and tried to figure out some uses for it but preferred powdered form
If I ever make turmeric, I'm going to follow the school of thought which says you peel the skins and dry it raw.
Hope it goes well for you if you have a crack Jamal.
I wish I were on your family and friends gift list!
great video. very informative. thanks!
So informative... thanks ... all the respect
Thanks Rana.

Thanks for the update. Great video.
No problem & hope it helps you with your harvest. 👍
Great information! I have fibromyalgia so turmeric is important for inflammation. Thanks, love to the family and cheers!
Hi there. My dad has found it works well at stopping his flare ups. He likes to eat it as a fresh vegetable & adds thin slices to a lot of his steamed meals.
Cheers & hope all's well with you.
Thanks for the information. I'll try that.
Thank you, thank you for your video post, now I have someones practical example for processing tumeric root!!!

Very helpful. Would like some information as to exactly when turmeric is ready to be harvested. I have been told that you wait until the leaves are virtually all dead, then dig up the rhizomes ? Thanks
Sorry I missed your question. I wait until the plant dies off as it cools down but you can also harvest the root as you need it. We also leave the plants in the ground to over winter so we can pick it fresh as needed.
Hope that helps.
Here's our latest harvest from the aquaponics if you're interested.

Bumped into your channel searching around. How interesting! Thank you Rob! Subscribed already.
Also got a channel which started last year...hope yo grow it fast, but no niche at the moment.
Hope the videos helped some mate & all the best with the channel. 👍
What happens if you don't dehydrate it? Like cut it into small chunks and then grind it?
It turns into a paste that you can freeze or use straight away. 👍 We tend to do that as it's a lot faster & has a better flavour .
lots of info.. thank you!
Nice video, was there much difference in the taste? I will try to find some to plant next year so this is extremely helpful. Ive only ever had the powder so I don't know which method would be more "beneficial" but if I saw some people drying it raw and others boiling it...I would combine the methods and "blanch" it. Unless you are trying to get rid of bitter or undesirable element. But if you can eat it raw Ill assume it tastes good.
Everyone that has tried both of ours says they have a much fuller flavour when compared to the other store bought ones they are used to. Mum & dad prefer the powder made from the raw dried root & have almost used it all up in their slow cooker meals. Will be giving them what we have left as a gift I think. ;)
The yellow variety we have is much more bitter than the orange so wouldn't eat it raw but have no issue with this orange one at all. Can be a bit too much for our girls so have never added a lot into meals raw.
Hope that helps a bit & sorry it took so long to reply to you.
Cheers,
Rob.
Love your videos rob cheers from Italy :)!!!!
Thanks Valentino 😊
Hope all's well with you & yours.👍
Rob.
Thanks for your info but i don't know the root you use , is any root you get anywhere
Best to look for fresh turmeric root at the whole foods or fruit n veg markets Pascaline. 👍
Thanks for sharing! I have two questions for you:
1. What did you do with the water you used to boil the turmeric roots?
2. Can you do the same with a little old turmeric roots or they need to be fresh?
Hey Jully. I tossed the water that had bicarb in it but the later batch with no bicarb was poured on the patch once it cooled down. Probably could of made a drink from it too.
You can process the old roots this way from what I've read. One page said that then younger root had more nutrient value to it but it didn't site any studies.
Hope that helps some & sorry for taking ages to get back to you.
Rob.
The boil water is full of nutrients. No reason to discard the larger chunks either. I’d use them both
We let water we boil them cool down then use it to water plants out the back. I figure we might as well give it back to the plant. 😉
Thanks mate, good info there. Appreciate the time and effort
Hi Mike & non problem mate.
All the best.
Rob.
Fewer new videos means going back to watch those in the library I missed or re-watching favorite episodes.
A new one will be live in a few hours Timothy. 👍
Cheers mate
I just want Rob to be my uncle. Coolest guy on youtube
Thanks Brian 😊
Great video!! Always wanted to try it 😊👍🍺
Go for it TP. I would suggest that you don't worry about boiling it if you want to use the powder for cooking. Is a lot faster to process & taste a bit better I think.
great video !! great information very informative !!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers mate. 👍😊
Great information.
Thanq for your information.
No problem & hope it helps some 👍
Thanks Bob for such a nice video. My question is do we have to peel the turmeric before drying. I peeled,boiled and the sundried the turmeric. But the colour was not good.
No need to peel it if you don't want to Archna. 👍
Cheers.
@@RobsAquaponics thanks
There is no need to freeze it instead you fill in air tight container or zip log bags and keep it in the fridge .It will last for many years and not to worry .
We have had both ginger & turmeric go manky in the fridge so that's why we freeze.
thanks for the info sir
Only too happy to help Stela.👍
Happy growing.
Very informative...thank you :)
Hey Rob , spoke to you in the past i lived a Maleny then,, just a question on turmeric powder what sort of shelf life are you getting ,, cheers Samuel
Can turmeric grow outdoor all year round ?
Thanks
Not in most climates Nancy. Tropical climates would be about the only place it would grow year round.
This clip may help you some.

Thanks sir Rob for the Sharing I'll will try it keep safe God BleS
Cheers Josie.
Doesn’t turmeric rot in waterlogged soil? Wouldn’t that be a risk when considering aquaponics? Or does aeration of the water prevent this disease?
Plants in the ginger family don't like poorly oxygenated soils. 👍 My aquaponic beds are well aerated so have had some terrific spice harvest from them. 😊
Below are a ginger & turmeric harvest clips if you're interested.

Can tumeric be dried in the oven. If so what temperature and how long ?
@@RobsAquaponics Thanks.
Excellent video
Thanks Andrew.
Cheers. 👍
@@RobsAquaponics Rob, I ended up washing and dehydrating some organic tumeric. I gave it a zing in the Magic Bullet blender and filled them into capsules.
It's winter in Toronto Canada right now so I bought the tumeric but when it warms up I will grow my own.
@@FormerlyKnownAsAndrew Hope they grow well for you Andrew.
Thank you Rob, I really appreciated you took the time to show us both. I wonder why you have to add in Baking Soda while boiling. Any how, I will slice them with the skin on and blend. I will never buy the Turmeric powder again as it has lots of chemicals added in them. At home I just blend the fresh turmeric then fill it into my old ice tray for 24 hrs. Then remove and keep them in a air tight bag.
The soda is supposed to help preserve the colour. Not a necessity at all. I prefer to use it fresh as well & don't think I'll be preserving mus=ch at all from now on with the amount of plants we have o the go. Will still keep some paste frozen in the freezer for when I don't feel like nipping out to do a late night harvest. 😉👍
Cheers & have a top one Rebecca.
Thank you so much Rob, I sun dried them as in Penang, we have sun everyday. I sun dried and must blend at once as once too cooled, it will be rubbery. Now I can make turmeric powder or ginger powder any time ! Going to make Chili powder days later. Better to make them ourselves. Thanks again for sharing .
I wonder if "juicing" the tumeric through an auger style juicer would work?
We had added small sections to juices in the past using both the mesh & auger units Clive. Both looked to extract a fair amount.
Cheers.
I think by boiling you have boiled out all the benefits out, why not just slice and dehydrate and keep all the goodness in the root and powder
hi Rob, I do not have one of those lovely machines you possess for the drying, what temp gas would be the way to go and for how long?
Adelaide person here. I am wanting to make a Turmeric infusion for soap making using the root, but can only find powders used, so looks like I make my own powder :)
Thanks
Hi Kerry. I'd pop them on the lowest setting you have & leave the door slightly ajar. Be careful that the flame doesn't blow out & you gas yourself. As for time, I think it will be a matter of you just checking every once in a while to see how it's going. Will probably go a lot faster than the dehydrator.
Hope taht helps some.
Sir what happen if I didn't boil
You will get a tastier product I think. I don't bother boiling ours anymore.
Turmeric is good for health and ur videos well treat us how can make turmeric powder at home thanks for the guidance
Am glad you enjoyed the clip.
Cheers.
"Turmeric rhizome contains curcumin, which is actually the most necessary element to be restored, by boiling the rhizome we are actually preventing loss of curcumin in it. The turmeric rhizomes are to be boiled
ASAP, better boil within 24 hrs of harvesting and you will restrict the loss of curcumin. This also increases shelf life of turmeric powder. "
if this above statement is true than without boiling is not good, can you pl explain
I think you best take that up with the folks that gave you that information. I did leave some inks in the description below the clip that might help you out.
Cheers.
Geat info Rob. I see you peeling and slicing the turmeric with bare hands. Do you have any tricks for getting the stains off your hands? :-)
lol is it as bad as black walnuts?
Hi Shelly. I found it normally wears off in 24 hours so don't worry about it myself. I've seen other folks use the latex or rubber gloves when preparing it so it doesn't stain their skin. Other than that I'm not sure.
Sorry it took a while to get back to you.
Have a great one.
Rob.
Whenever I deal with food things that can stain my hands I rub my hand in some coconut oil. It works well when I get messy with beets. I'll have to try it out with turmeric at the end of this summer!
Danny Seo, Naturally, showed cutting a lemon in half, then rub the juice and the pulp all over hands to clean and sanitize.
Awesome thanks heaps Rob
No problem Sharon.

Hi Rob... I can't seem to find tumeric roots anywhere. Where did you get your first supply?
I bought it from Green Harvest at the Sunshine coast Syd. You can also grow it from store bought root as well if that helps.
