Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Maureen I saw your message earlier. I have only tried whole turmeric one time .. I used it to make some sort of potion a few years ago. You can use it in recipes by slicing it. I am not an expert on whole turmeric. The powder blends better than the whole root or rhizome.
