A relative of turmeric, but with pale yellow-white flesh and a bitterness carried on a mango-like aroma. Indonesian cooking grates it fresh, while India uses it in pickles and spice blends.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
