Let's see your favourite ways to add turmeric to your daily diet...

I am looking for ways to ingest more turmeric....

The active ingredient in turmeric (curcumin) is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Turmeric is known (or at the least, suspected) to help with following:

-it aids in the prevention of heart disease and cancers,
-it helps to manage inflammation (such as joint pain and arthritis),
-it's a digestive aid, and can even promote weight loss,
-regulates HBP and hyperlipidemia,
-promotes good liver and kidney health,
-suspected to help relieve degenerative eye conditions

As well, the high levels of phytonutrients in turmeric are said to protect the body from free radicals (pollution, sunlight) and shield the cells from damage.

I am currently putting turmeric in a morning smoothie, and I will make a couple cups of turmeric/ginger/lemon tea in the afternoon/evenings...
Willing to share some of your ways to use turmeric with me?? Whether they are your own recipes you've created, or something passed down throughout your family's lineage....I am up for any suggestions!!

In India, where it originated from, a pinch of turmeric is added to the seasoning of most meals, that way its taste is not detected and it adds a nice colour to the dish, as a hot drink it’s added to hot milk with a powdered mix of almonds, pistachios and saffron, with sugar or jaggery if you’re looking for a natural sugar

@SW-User my sister just recently told me about adding it to hot milk...was it to give to the youngsters when they were ill?? That's what she thought anyway...so, I just made some sausage, onions, pepper and kale for dinner, and I put lots of turmeric and garlic in that...it's quite delicious! It definitely changed the colour of the entire dish though

@ImpeccablyImperfect it’s used as a medicinal drink but if made correctly it’s as tasty as tea or coffee, it’s sold in western countries as “golden latte”; also each recipe is only supposed to consist of a pinch of turmeric added in the seasoning or it overpowers and ruins the dish as it has a strong taste

@SW-User oh! I’ve heard of the golden latte…I might have to look up a recipe….
