Turmeric, or rather its active ingredient curcumin is an herb that has been extensively studied by science and has proven health benefits.


Turmeric has been used for over 600 years as a medicinal herb due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The basis for this lies in an ingredient within turmeric, known as curcumin. When you pair turmeric with black pepper, it aids in absorption of curcumin.

Many people use turmeric in their foods to enhance flavor or dye foods the golden yellow color we all recognize. Make sure when you add turmeric to eggs or other dishes that you add black pepper to it so you can absorb the curcumin in the turmeric.


Turmeric is the main ingredient in curry powder, and is a staple ingredient used in Indian and Asian cuisine. It is often used in savory dishes and is sold in fresh as well as powder form. Nutritionally, turmeric is a great source of iron, fiber, and vitamin C.


The uses of turmeric to treat ailments such as respiratory illness and skin conditions can be tracked back as far as 500 B.C.


Because turmeric is an excellent inti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antioxidant, it is considered to act as a protective agent.


Nowadays, it is used as a dietary supplement and recently has become a popular ingredient in smoothies and coffee drinks. There is a “turmeric milk drink” that is said to have excellent benefits that combines honey, turmeric, milk, black pepper, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Also known as “Golden Milk” this drink is said to have many benefits.

I like to put turmeric in my chicken and noodles. Adds flavor and color, and the health benefits are a bonus. Just a tip.
