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!!

it's expensive too...

kousa berries (Japanese Dogwood) have many of the same benefits & more, and they grow fast (at least around here). Doesn't take much to have noticeable results either.

@wildbill83 thank you! I will look into this too!

@ImpeccablyImperfect I'd had several people stop at my house and ask what kind of trees they are because they stand out so much when they bloom in summer, the berries ripen around late august to october; I get at least a bushel off every tree
