Arrow root & ginger - Domaine de Picasso

Thierry Vitry grows and processes turmeric alongside ginger and arrowroot at Plaine des Grègues, in the heights of Saint-Joseph.

At the foot of the Margosiers loop trail, Thierry Vitry took over the family farm twelve years ago, where he grows turmeric, ginger and arrowroot. Born and bred in the heart of these heritage crops, Thierry is committed to respecting the environment by growing these products organically. He doesn't hesitate to use the manure from the poultry he raises to feed his crops.

Thierry Vitry's turmeric is organically grown and processed in his laboratory to produce a powder that is highly prized by the people of Reunion. Its pronounced taste and beautiful golden color are the pride of the region. Don't hesitate to add a little arrowroot or ginger powder, with their remarkable antioxidant properties. Pei saffron" and Thierry's other spices are all staples of Creole cuisine, known not only for their gustatory qualities but also for their numerous therapeutic virtues.

Domaine de Picasso branded products:

  • Arrowroot: starch can be used to replace flour, in cakes and creams. It is an excellent binder that can be used to thicken sauces and soups. It is sometimes used as a gastric dressing and has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Ginger and mango ginger: much appreciated by lovers of natural products and healthy living for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, ginger is a staple of Creole cuisine. For those unfamiliar with ginger mango, it has notes of green mango that bring freshness and originality to your dishes.
  • Turmeric: "culinary" turmeric comes from the branches of this root, while "mother" turmeric comes from the central part and has medicinal properties due to its higher concentration of curcumin (anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, etc.).

À la rencontre de...

Thierry Vitry grows and processes his organic turmeric, Réunion's yellow gold, at La Plaine des Grègues, in the heights of Saint-Joseph. He transforms it into turmeric syrup and turmeric powder.

"I started growing turmeric as a child. I've been immersed in it since birth.

We're in La Plaine des Grègues, where I grow organic turmeric. I have two product ranges: a culinary range and a medicinal range.

We've been farmers for several generations. We grew a bit of everything: turmeric, sugar cane, and we also raised poultry, pigs, oxen... When my father retired, I took over the farm and continued with turmeric.

I work in organic production. The only mechanization I use is the brushcutter, which I pass between the rows. Then I finish by hand to weed the turmeric rows.

The special thing about turmeric here is that it grows on the Plaine des Grègues. This is a plateau surrounded by mountains, which retain moisture. The soil is ideal for turmeric, and I think it's due to the volcanic geology, which makes this land really rich.

Being at the gateway to the National Park, I wanted to obtain the National Park Spiritmark . For me, it's very important to keep this environment healthy and to work in a respectful way: to produce in small quantities, but well, and always in a human way."
