Turmeric Tea

Golden-yellow turmeric, and specifically the compounds in it called curcuminoids, is an absolute powerhouse of a nutritional supplement. It has been used medicinally and in cooking for thousands of years, and much recent clinical research has shown its tremendous healing properties. The active component, curcumin, has very powerful anti-inflammatory effects, and also acts as a potent antioxidant. So, any time you are making something that could benefit from turmeric’s warm, sweet taste, be sure to add a teaspoon or two! Savory dishes work well, since black pepper enhances absorption by 2000%, through the action of the compound piperine.
