Is frozen turmeric good?
I. How is frozen turmeric different from normal turmeric?
1.1. About form
Normal turmeric root: Has a fresh root form, dark brown skin, orange-yellow flesh, often has a lot of fiber and is easily crushed.
Frozen turmeric: Prepared from fresh turmeric by peeling, slicing, drying and freezing. Thanks to that, frozen turmeric comes in the form of blocks or small tablets, convenient for storage and use.
1.2. Used Time
Normal turmeric: Has a short shelf life, should only be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. After this time, fresh turmeric is easily damaged and loses nutrients.
Frozen turmeric: Has a much longer shelf life, up to 12 months if stored properly in the refrigerator. Thanks to that, you don't need to worry about damaged or moldy turmeric.
1.3. Convenience
Normal turmeric: Needs to be peeled, sliced and processed before use, quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Frozen turmeric: Pre-processed and pre-cut, just defrost to use, extremely convenient and time-saving.
1.4. Nutrient content
Normal turmeric: Nutrient content may be affected by storage and use.
Frozen turmeric: Stored at low temperatures, helping to maintain nutrient content such as curcumin, essential oils,... compared to fresh turmeric.
Frozen turmeric provides convenience in processing and storage.
