Turmeric

Turmeric

The internet is filled with information on this spice.  It is one of the new wonder foods.  So what is a good way to make sure it is in our diet.   My way is using it as a condiment.  I mix a teaspoon of turmeric with three teaspoons of coarse sea salt and usually one of my favourite herbs like basil or marjoram, put into the grinder and use to season meals.   It is really nice on salads and in stir fries. This means you get a small amount several times a day, but no overload that might cause a reaction.
Turmeric is antioxidant, antibacterial, anti inflammatory and helps the digestive system by stimulating bile flow.
