Turmeric: The Magic
I have been interested in turmeric for a while. It has a nutty taste, and I find its color and health benefits fascinating, so I wanted to learn more about it and see what it was used for in an everyday setting. I know it is a typical Indian spice and is a common ingredient in their food, but I was curious about its other uses. I have also seen turmeric used in vegan creme brule, giving it a hint of yellow color to mimic non-vegan creme brule.
When I started my research, I found a wealth of health benefits of turmeric, including cancer prevention, antioxidant activity, pain management, and many others, on the John Hopkins Medicine website by Mary-Eve Brown. We should incorporate it into our cooking more often to reap these benefits. Web MDs Zilpah Sheikh and Christine Richmond write about how turmeric can help with depression, diabetes, infections, and high cholesterol, among other things mentioned by the Johns Hopkins Medicine website. This information empowers us to make informed choices about our health. There are many other benefits that is mentioned by other websites like Healthline and Harvard health.
Exploring the Good Foods website, I was delighted to find a diverse range of turmeric recipes. From classic American dishes like eggs and pancakes to more exotic curries, there's something to pique everyone's interest. The variety of options caters to different tastes and sparks curiosity about the many ways turmeric can be incorporated into our cooking. Another website named Allrecipes has many more turmeric recipes, like their ginger-turmeric herbal tea, turmeric milk, and chickpea curry. They have many other recipes, primarily curries and tikka masalas, but these two websites also give great options for people with limited resources. Bon Appetit has multiple recipes that use turmeric and are centered around Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. These recipes include a pineapple slushy, fried eggs with kale, and a rice salad with brussel sprouts.
Through my research, I have found that turmeric has many uses and can be vital for people's health. Because of its unique color, it is highly accessible and simple to find in grocery stores, and there are many ways to use it to reap its benefits. Turmeric supplements are also a popular product on the market. Victoria Taylor from the British Heart Foundation says that the body does not easily absorb turmeric and that supplements pose no health benefits to the body. She states that Turmeric can also act like a blood thinner, so it is essential not to overconsume the spice. she also states that turmeric increases bile production a., but all things considered, it is a good spice that adds excellent flavor to your cooking, but to be careful because it can cause harm to the body if too much is consumed, and to be cautious of products marketed with the spice because they can have excess saturated fats and therefore not be healthy.
