Just looking for advice please.. I've started juicing and want to add turmeric into the mix. Does anyone know is it better to have it fresh - as in turmeric root, or is the powdered, supermarket version as good? Thanks

Fresh has increased health benefit I believe.

Thanks that's what I thought. Any idea where I'd get it? I haven't started looking yet but I've only ever seen the powdered stuff.

Are you Dublin based? I have seen it in Fallon & Byrne, but I'd say check in an Asian/Indian food shop as they'd probably have it cheaper

I'd say most Indian/ethic grocers would have it quite cheap.

Fallon & Byrne have had some in earlier this week.

I have seen it in some of the African food shops on Moore Street.

Keep an eye out for it at your local farmers market/ organic shop. I got some at my local farmers market recently. I am not sure what it costs as the stall holder was so delighted that someone knew what it was that she gave it to me on the house.
