   You can buy powdered turmeric in American supermarkets. If you get it in a bottle in the spice section of the market, it will cost you some bucks. If you look for the section of spices that are in clear envelopes, it should cost under a dollar. In Indian markets, you get much more for your money, naturally.
   
   If you have an Indian market near you, you can also get the fresh turmeric root, which has brown skin with orange interior, and is a cousin of ginger. Peel a few of the finger-sized pieces of it, cut into 1/2 inch lengths or so, and place in water with some fresh lemon juice to cover the pieces of turmeric root. Keep refrigerated, and eat a piece now and then. Keeps several weeks or months.
