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!!

Just about anything. It depends on the style of cooking. I often use it eggs or even apart of chicken breading.

Lately I have even added real ground curry leafs with the turmeric into omelets.

Bought a whole pound of curry leafs.


Note: this is NOT store bought curry spice. That actually doesn't have ANY real curry.

Please note real curry leaves as well have the same benefits as tumeric. And are sometimes used as a tea.

Curry leaves are loaded with carbazole alkaloids, compounds that have antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-cancer properties. The compound linolool, primarily responsible for the flowery scent of curry leaves, is also capable of killing bacteria and eliminating cell-damaging free radicals.2

@DeWayfarer I wouldn’t even think of buying store bought curry spice.
If I want some Indian-style foods I’d make it from scratch! And thanks for this info on the curry leaf…I will check it out some more and try to find it here!

@ImpeccablyImperfect just so you know, I had to go online to even buy it. Curry leafs just are not solid here.

Yet a whole pound cost only $10 USA.
