We grew such a big crop of turmeric this year that we didn't get it all dug before the coldest weather of winter. We simply covered it with a layer of hay. We're glad it came through winter fine, but it really is time to get it all dug. After it is dug, it can be stored in the fridge sealed up for a time. We've been storing what we harvested in the fall in moist sawdust in a cool outbuilding. It can also be frozen. And we've been dehydrating it lately by peeling and shredding then drying. We use it in stir-fries and make a ginger/turmeric tea. It is a pretty new crop to us, though, so we're still exploring how to enjoy it.
