Turmeric varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common turmeric varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Orange (standard)	Curries, tonics, and juicing: bright golden flesh, the common fresh root.
White (Mango)	Fresh use and pickles: milder with a gingery, mango-like aroma.
Black	Specialist and medicinal use: dark bluish flesh with an earthy, camphor note.

Which should I pick?

For curries, tonics, and juicing, standard Orange turmeric (the bright golden-fleshed root) is the everyday choice and the one most shops carry. No fresh root? Ground turmeric powder works in cooked dishes when fresh is out of reach. Reach for White (Mango) turmeric for a milder, gingery note, or Black turmeric for its earthy, medicinal use where you can find it.
