Pretty sure you can't post a link from Dropbox. Upload it to Photobucket and it should work.

You can but you have to click on the "share link" icon (chain symbol) on the right in the list of photos, and then on the "Get Link" button and it will put a link in the clipboard for you to paste into the post. You won't get a preview in the post though, just a link to click on.

You can embed Dropbox photos, but they have to be in the "Public" folder.

Sorry about that folks, uploaded to photobucket, this should work ok



Smaller root type in front of the ginger

Minder

tumeric - the fresh stuff, it should be yellow in the centre and will stain your hands if you peel it

Oooh, I've been loking for fresh turmeric for a while! - May I ask where you got it?

bogman

Thanks Minder :-)
Got it in my weekly 20 euro delivery from Organic Republic in Macroom



Use all this for juicing, supplement it with Supervalu's Tuesday and Thursday's stocking of Organic Fruit&Veg, you dont want to be juicing normal celery as its coated in pesticides which are awkward to wash off

lovely stuff, though.

Must find a recipe for a juice that contains turmeric, id say twill be spicy enough, does it have much of a shelf life?

they'll keep for weeks in the fridge.
Turmeric isn't hot spicy - more of a chalky sort of flavour (but nice).

Never knew what turmeric looked like. Never even thought about anything it beyond having a Schwarz label. Guess you learn something new every day

Where are you based? Can usually get it at the Dublin food co-op in Newmarket square each Saturday.

Supercell

Thanks for posting this OP, never knew what fresh turmeric looked like!

Great idea for a thread to post up UFOs (Unidentifiable Foodie Objects) - will start one now
