turmeric root
Curry's yellow source
Turmeric root is the underground stem of the turmeric plant, a knobby, orange-fleshed rhizome used as a spice and coloring agent.
Fresh turmeric root resembles ginger but stains everything it touches bright yellow.
Most turmeric is dried and ground into the powder that gives curry its distinctive color: I grated fresh turmeric root into the soup.
