Turmeric is a superfood with many health benefits, including reducing inflammation, supporting digestion, boosting joint health, improving brain function, and more. But why always spend money on store-bought spice when you can grow turmeric indoors at home?
A turmeric plant is grown for attractive tropical flowers and deep-orange rhizomes, which can be used fresh or dried to add flavor, color, nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants to dishes. As a tropical plant, it can only grow outdoors year-round in US hardiness zones 8 and above. Yet gardeners in cooler climates can grow turmeric indoors for homegrown nutritional harvests.
