Turmeric – my secret love affair of the superfood community!
Who doesn’t love this stuff? I mean really.
A root that is commonly ground into a powder and used as a spice in Indian cuisine, especially curries. Turmeric has had value for thousands of years in India, both as food and as medicine, and it has recently been proven to contain high amounts of anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants. Turmeric shows promise in treating and preventing a host of Western diseases, including Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and depression. It is especially impressive in its tumor-shrinking capabilities.
