Turmeric isn't always used fresh. In this case, the rhizomes are frequently boiled for a couple of hours and then properly dried in heated ovens. After the drying, they are ground into a deepgolden powder. The most prevalent use of this orange-yellow powder is as a spice for curries and also in some South Asian and even Middle Eastern cuisines. Besides as a spice, the powder obtained from grounding Turmeric is also used in dying, as well as giving color to mustard condiments.
