Do you use tumeric to cook? It is a bright yellow aromatic powder obtained from the rhizome of a plant of the ginger family, used for flavoring and coloring in Asian cooking and formerly as a fabric dye. My Mom used it and I do too.
Have you noticed anything wrong with this blog so far?
I have misspelled the spice in both the title and the first sentence. After years of using this ingredient, for some reason, I looked at the spice jar recently and realized it is spelled turmeric. That made me wonder if I had been pronouncing it incorrectly so, of course I googled it and was enlightened.
It is pronounced tur·mer·ic (ˈtərmərik) per the dictionary and you can hear the correct pronunciation here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/turmeric
Is it possible I’ve been the only one pronouncing this word incorrectly? I’d appreciate your feedback.

Kind of like masala, the Indian spice. Marsala is a wine.

It was just in the daily crossword puzzle today, so I knew how to spell it.
Never use it so have never had a need to pronounce it.

Yes, so many have used tumeric and it appears constantly in the media as such. I got that same awakening. We use it a lot in cooking.
