| | Fresh Turmeric in Switzerland
Hello all!
I have been desperately looking for fresh turmeric root in Switzerland (not the powdered form that you find in Migros or Coop). It's also called Kurkuma or Curcuma. I've tried the New Asia Market in Zurich as well as a few other health food stores but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated! (I've attached a photo of it so you know what it looks like) |

I believe most of the big asian groceries sell fresh tumeric.
You can try Lian Hua:
They have two shops in Zurich
Birmensdorferstrasse 94, 8003 Zürich
Schaffhauserstrasse 269, 8057 Zürich

Hi guys are the Zürich places mentioned in this thread still stocking fresh Turmeric?
I went to Barkats yesterday and was pretty surprised that I couldn't find it. | Quote: | |  | | | I believe most of the big asian groceries sell fresh tumeric.

All Coop stores in Geneva sell it.

I‘ve seen it in a variety of different places - coop often has it, Asian stores, sometimes Farmy and sometimes alnatura.
I‘m not sure about the seasonality of it, though. I‘ve seen it often, just not all the time.
Another place to look, if you‘re in Zurich might be jelmoli.

I am in Zürich. I find fresh turmeric in the big Coops (bio, with the vegetables). And also in the Alnatura shops (e.g. Löwenstrasse). In Alnatura, it is not packaged in pastic, a little bonus ;-)

There's also fresh turmeric (organic quality) available at Farmy.ch (online market). Don't know about the turmeric, but in general they have very good quality products.

Yep, I bought in in Lidle last week. Which I thought was pretty cool. Then again, I find LIdl's fruit and veggie stand pretty cool each time I cross town to get to it.

Aparently it is the magic strong color in turmeric that is so healthy (anticarcinogen and all the other stuff).
