Can I grow Tumeric from a root I have bought to grate and eat?

If you can supply it with the following conditions, year round, then yes.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) (/ˈtɜːrmərɪk/)[2] is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial flowering plantof the ginger family, Zingiberaceae.[3] It is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and requires temperatures between 20 and 30 °C (68 and 86 °F) and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes and propagated from some of those rhizomes in the following season.

Thank you for the reply I will give it a go and see how long I can keep it alive.  After this hot summer I expect a freezing winter!!
