Nutritional Values
- 1. Turmeric seems to be another multi-functional, beneficial spice that we should incorporate in our recipes whenever possible. Turmeric contains a substance called Curcumin. This active ingredient is a very strong antioxidant and is a natural anti-inflammatory compound. It is also suggested that adding ground pepper to turmeric will increase your ability to absorb the Curcumin! (Source: Healthline.com and Joy Bauer’s book: Joy’s Simple Food Remedies)
