Description

ID Temulawak – Dried Java Turmeric 50g.
Temulawak is a source of potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, fiber to regulate the digestive tract, calcium to build strong bones and teeth, iron to develop the protein hemoglobin for oxygen transport through the bloodstream, and other nutrients such as manganese and vitamin C. The rhizomes also contain curcumin, a compound that contributes anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-like properties to protect the cells in the body from free radical damage. Curcumin is also believed to be a digestive aid. Along with vitamins and minerals, Temulawak is said to contain over forty natural compounds that promote healing within the body.

Temulawak rhizomes are rarely used for cooking and are mostly incorporated into teas, pressed juices, water infusions, and powders. Despite their medicinal focus, some consumers use rhizomes in raw and cooked preparations such as boiling, stir-frying, or sauteing. When young, fresh Temulawak can be blended into smoothies, juices, or cooked as an aromatic in meat and vegetable dishes. The rhizome can also be dried for extended use, ground into starch for puddings, porridges, yogurt, custard, and gum, or sliced and stir-fried. Beyond using rhizomes in preparations similar to common turmeric, Temulawak is sometimes eaten with fattier foods such as butterfish or eel to increase digestion and promote nutrient absorption. Temulawak pairs well with meats such as poultry, beef, and pork, seafood, cucumbers, aromatics including shallots, garlic, lemongrass, and lime leaves. Whole, uncut Temulawak will keep around one month when stored in a paper or plastic bag in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer.
