Turmeric

Anyone else use this regularly?

it has huge health benefits

whack it in the rice

 

Simmer it in milk, cool it, nice anti inflammatory drink (india & indonesia origin) use fresh root, grate it, steep in some boiling water, makes a really high potency sinus wash it rid upper respiratory infection.

 

I'm not really sure how to cook with it, I always find it over powers the food I cook with it.

I used to make a kind of cous cous thing with it though.

 

^ its a pretty mild tasting spice. if it overpowers the food then you put way too much.

i put it in rice, and also have tried it simmered in milk. isnt horrible, but i wouldnt drink it every day haha

 

It doesn't so much over power, but it's easy to put too much in and spoil the whole dish.

 

hm, well in rice i only put about a teaspoon per cup of rice. a little goes a long way with turmeric. definitely measure it.

 

it is very tannin like

 

i put a little bit in almost everything i cook. good stuff.

 

Mmm I did a lazy effort at trying it as a sinus rinse. Bad on two accounts

1. Used powdered tumeric
2. didn't boil it

It burnt like like and inflamed my sinuses, I used a sinus rinse sachet after that and the burning went away

 

makes a nice facial add it to your mud mask..
