Turmeric treats, amazing dishes with an amazing history.
For centuries, turmeric has been among the most highly-prized spices worldwide, sometimes more valued than gold itself. But despite it being featured in so many cuisines, many still wonder what is the best way to take turmeric powder?
With epidemics of disease being on the rise, this is an important question, since turmeric’s scientifically proven autoimmune protection is needed at its peak now more than ever.
Today we’ll be talking about the best way to take your turmeric and some tremendously tasty turmeric treats sure to keep your family happy and healthy with both savory and sweet selections, so buckle up as we begin our journey!
Turmeric: Tasty and a Favorite for Treating Disease
Turmeric, as a member of the ginger family, has actually been popular for many thousands of years in the Middle East and in East India.
Whether it became popular for its medicinal properties or because of its unique kick and peppery flavor is not clear, but it has been used with all kinds of food.
Although it has been a part of our Western diet since all the way back to the 13th century, turmeric’s popularity increased only in recent years. Of course this means our tasty turmeric treats are only beginning, having numerous ancient medicinal uses that started when its anti-inflammatory properties were observed.
This powerful spice was found to ease symptoms of a wide range of conditions, including blood in the urine, bruises, chest pain, colic, flatulence, hemorrhaging, jaundice, menstrual problems, and toothaches.
But the name turmeric is actually derived from a Persian word for “saffron”, which is the yellow-orange hued spice used for making yellow mustard and curry.
Some people who’ve never tried turmeric often ask, “What’s so great about turmeric?” For starters, it’s packed with essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium. In addition, it’s an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, as well as fiber, magnesium, and zinc in some pretty healthy amounts.
If you are looking for a health strategy proven by centuries of work by Ayurvedic doctors, consider using organic turmeric root powder as the best and most versatile way to get the most from it since you can consume more of it with your food. In addition, real turmeric digests all the better without capsules interfering with proper absorption.
Food lovers are really rejoicing as recent research has shown that turmeric could be helpful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, improving liver function, lowering cholesterol levels, reducing your risk of Alzheimer’s, relieving indigestion, and supporting cardiovascular health.
In addition, other research suggests that turmeric has special properties that could lower your risk of cancer and inhibit cancer cell growth, specifically breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and even childhood leukemia.
Increasing Turmeric’s (Curcumin’s) Bioavailability
Since curcumin is the bioactive component shown to be so effective as an agent of healing, it’s important to make it bioavailable since by itself because it’s poorly absorbed by the body.
So let’s see what science has shown can help solve that problem
Pick Pepper
Pleased to put on a little pepper to your savory & sweet turmeric dishes?
Good news! Research says it boosts results by up to 600 percent!
The secret to this release is the compound piperine.
Grind pepper fresh for this boost since ground pepper loses its potency relatively quickly. Put a dash of it on your favorite dish, savory or sweet, and you will get a unique kick that will help your body use valuable curcuminoids!
Fat is Where It’s At
Want to ramp up those results to 800 percent?
Even better news.
Fats will help you get that curcumin even more! Healthy fats like coconut oil are a great choice that lend themselves to a wide variety of dishes.
It’s Heating Up!
Finally, don’t forget to boil it down. Boiling can boost curcumin availability 1200 percent! Just put in the dry powder by the teaspoon, boiling the mixture between 10 and 12 minutes.
Of course, this isn’t possible with taking simple pills, so enjoy the foods you are make with your turmeric.
But while all the above ways are great to boost the benefits of your turmeric, we hear in Coconut Country have also found THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT, so here’s some favorites that will help you get the most of your turmeric.
