I knew it was an anti-inflammatory but I didn't know about the other properties. A friend of mine sprained her wrist and used turmeric to bring down the swelling. She said she could feel it working and it really helped her. I use it my curries and also to make yellow rice. Thanks for the 101!

I love to chop sweet potatoes and roast them with coconut oil, turmeric, cayenne, garlic, black pepper and pink salt. Sweet, spicy, savory and full of great stuff. Love your videos!

I haven't cooked with turmeric before but I have eaten it in some recipes.
One amazing experience I have had was trying new moisturizer for my face which contained turmeric and it made my skin soooo amazing after the first use!!! My skin never looked so beautiful and radiant! I know some Indian cultures use this on their skin as well before wedding ceremonies!

I use turmeric in a garlic salad dressing that I created myself. This is has been favorite of my family!

I blend a 1/4 cup of raw turmeric and 1/4 cup of raw ginger with 3 cups of water and keep it in a jar and refrigerate it. I drink a 1/4 cup of this every morning and I feel refreshed. I'm adding black pepper like you said for absorption! Thank you so much!

I love tumeric. I use it every day on my proteins and veggies. It's a fantastic anti inflammatory. I've made the hot tumeric, ginger tea before, it's fabulous. Thanks Dani loved this

I LOVE turmeric! I've been eating it since childhood. I primarily use it to make yellow rice, soups, beans and sprinkle the powder on freshly air popped corn with a drizzle of EVOO.

*Pours turmeric all over my life* This stuff is magical.
Funfact: Just dab a pinch of turmeric on a cut/wound.It stops the bloodflow! This is favorite trick of every Indian grandmother:p

I love turmeric! Personally I have never found the fresh stuff but I use the dried kind to make turmeric milk tea, spicy potato wedges, I add it to any curry or masala recipe, and even been known to whip up a face mask with turmeric, a little bentonite clay, and some distilled water. Adding a smidgen of pure aloe vera gel is a great idea, too. In fact, now that I think of it, a bit of pure aloe vera gel and some ground turmeric can make a great little acne spot treatment and keeps well in the fridge. I learned these and several other recipes from the lovely Ela Gale here on Youtube.

Thank you so much for talking about turmeric! I'm not sure how I would cook without turmeric, ginger, garlic, and rosemary. I've been making my teas like that, with an added bag of herbal tea, for a long time and I think that with some Manuka honey added, it's the only good part of being sick. Fresh turmeric is also wonderful in a hearty pot of turkey and quinoa chili.

I was winging it in the kitchen I decided to make sauteed baby portabella mushrooms with butter, soy sauce and turmeric. Boy oh boy it came out pretty good

Cut fresh turmeric and ginger into thin slivers and add salt and lots of lime juice. Let it marinate for a couple of hours and enjoy as an accompaniment with anything. It justs tastes so good.

[pabloacevedo]

First time i watched your program and enjoyed and enjoyed it.i live in puerto rico and i use tumeric, ginger and garlic as part of the spices i use it in my cooking.i use it in our beans, stews and meat rubs.in just about everything.keep up the good work.

[paulalove]

Yes this video is right on! I love to add turmeric to my fresh squeezed orange juice and i drop a little black pepper to help absorb it . Tastes soooo good

[cindylott]

I've only had turmeric in tiki masala and in a capsule as a supplement but I'm going to try it in tea.

It also makes a good recipe for spicy Parmesan baked potato fries. Just cut the potatoes in wedges after you peel & rinse them. I usually mix my Parmesan, panko, cayenne pepper, & turmeric powder together. And toss the potatoes in them. Spray a oven pan with olive oil and lay the potatoes on it a inch apart. But if you have kids and want to make this dish for the family just toss potatoes in the panko flour and Parmesan. And just use turmeric & cayenne pepper in some mayo or ranch and it can be a spicy dip for those who like spicy food and those that don't can just eat it with ketchup or plain mayo or ranch. 🤗

Yes Turmeric for sure Danie. I started using in daily along with fresh ground cinnamon from surakka about two years ago. I add it to my morning smoothies.
I have found that my blood pressure has gone down and all the pains and aches along with arthritis has virtually disappeared. As well as walking every day for a half hour.
Have tried to tell people about this but of course they will not listen to me.
