Spice of the Month! First Monday each month throughout 2023 at the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County, stop by the main circulation desk and pick up a free Spice of the Month and recipe. Limit one per patron. Available until supplies are gone. Share your finished recipe with us on social media @PLMVKC #spiceofthemonth! February will bring a new spice to try and that is Turmeric Root. A member of the ginger family, turmeric is a robust perennial, native to southern Asia and appreciated there since antiquity as a flavoring, a dye, and a medicine.  It is one of the cheapest spices, yet throughout the region it is valued on ritual and ceremonial occasions, whether to color rice for an Indonesian wedding or to dye the skin of cows. Other producers include China, Haiti, Indonesia, Jamaica, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam.  Jill Norman describes fresh turmeric as crunchy, has gingery, citrus aromas, with an earthy flavor and citrus overtones. Dried turmeric is complex with a woodsy aroma with floral, citrus and ginger notes.  With the spice and a recipe provided, patrons will get the opportunity to use a spice in a specific way but also decide if it is a spice you are interested in learning more about how to incorporate it into your cooking or finding alternative means for the spice of the month.
