On a Thai website they were saying that turmeric powder can taste really bad and that we should definitely use fresh, is that true? And does anyone know how to preserve fresh turmeric? Thanks.

How funny. I've frequented Asian stores all over the country and don't remember ever even seeing fresh turmeric! Maybe I did, but didn't recognize it! Since it looks a lot like ginger, I wonder if it would take to my favorite ginger storage method (cut into chunks, put in a jar, then cover with sake, vermouth or rice vinegar. The liquid makes a great seasoning).
