The Baker Creek gardeners have been busy harvesting our amazing crop of blue (also called black) turmeric. This lesser-known cousin of orange turmeric has even higher concentrations of the powerful compound curcumin, a compound thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We will be growing live plant starts from this harvest, which will be available in the spring on rareseeds.com!

How long does turmeric take to grow for harvesting?
Thanks for the info!
I can't wait until you guys get more in.
I wish I did since 3 years ago I learned about it, but I haven't found any….
I really like to get some. Thank you for the info.
Niceeee ❣
I am also growing this plant in my garden in south india it can find in most of the nurseries but it is little expensive
Out of stock. Why post this?
Same zone as you all at Baker Creek, honestly only an hour east. But I have very sandy soil, thoughts on this in both inside and out of a green house? As I do not have one yet, but in the process. I have health issues that tumeric is a huge help with, so in turn very interested in this. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.
Keep it in wood shavings to regrow the next season?
How does the taste compare with the orange turmeric?
How does it do indoors under lights? Any recommendations?? Baker creek best heirloom seeds on the planet thanks
Turmeric can lead to iron deficiency. Over 600 million people in India are iron deficient because of regular turmeric consumption.
Makes me think about the Ted an green apples! The green are better for you.
If it is on the endangered species list ….that would mean it would be incredibly hard for me to find it to grow. Are you selling starters??
