Ground turmeric is a popular spice that adds a vibrant colour to curries, baking and even smoothies and lattes. It has a plethora of health benefits associated with it and is often used as a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient thanks to the high levels of curcumin. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric and is considered to be a strong antioxidant - This turmeric powder has 2-3% curcumin.
To better absorb the curcumin found in turmeric you can try adding black pepper, which not only compliments the flavour but increases the benefits.
Ways to use turmeric in your diet:
- Create a coconut, sweet potato and chickpea curry using turmeric
- Simmer 200ml almond milk with turmeric and a touch of cinnamon for the perfect, soothing latte
- Add to Indian food to not only add colour but to add vibrancy to the meal
- Try making some crusty turmeric rolls and serve with a warm bowl of soup
