The benefits of turmeric (curcuma)
Turmeric (also known as poor man's saffron) is part of the ginger plant family. It not only adds colour to your dishes, but always gives them a distinctive, mild, hot aromatic flavour. It is, for example, the main ingredient of curry. The multiple health benefits of turmeric have long been known in Asia. It contains the anti-cancer agent curcumine, and no other ingredient in the kitchen is as protective against cancer. To make sure that your body can absorb it as effectively as possible it is very important that you first dissolve the turmeric in oil and then add black pepper – this makes a spectacular difference to how much curcumine you can metabolize. Turmeric is easy to find.
