Description : Turmeric fingers are one of the primary forms in which turmeric is harvested and processed. They are elongated, cylindrical segments of the turmeric rhizome or root. These fingers vary in size, typically ranging from 2 to 5 inches in length, and they have a rough, brownish-yellow outer skin. Inside, the flesh is vibrant orange-yellow and is the part of the plant used to make turmeric powder and other turmeric-based products.
