Believed to help with pain, blood cleansing and even alzheimer disease, it seems to be a wonder spice!  Slightly bitter to the taste, it&#8217;s often use in India and other Asian countries in stir fries and other lovely dishes.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alter48.fr\/air-max-90-femme.html\">air max 90 femme<\/a> From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins-and-supplements\/lifestyle-guide-11\/supplement-guide-turmeric\">WebMd.com:<\/a> <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Why do people take turmeric?<\/h3>\n<p> Curcumin, a substance in turmeric, may help to reduce <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/arthritis\/about-inflammation\">inflammation<\/a>.

It does definitely alter the taste, but not in a bad way, and also gives the smoothie that lovely mustard-ish color if you&#8217;re not adding darker fruits or lots of greens.  All of these things are ok and were ok until today when I learned that a few other things can help make the benefits of <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/20HPGvZ\">turmeric <\/a>more easily available by the body.  If you&#8217;re going to eat the stuff, you might as well get the maximum benefit.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fjallravenkankensale.me.uk\/kanken-no-2.html\">Fjallraven Kanken NO.2 Backpack<\/a> The folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realfarmacy.com\/kitchen-table-strategies-effectively-optimize-turmeric-maximum-bioavailability-therapeutic-potency\/\" target=\"_blank\">Realfarmacy.com posted this (click) <\/a>with tons of details &#8211; more than I&#8217;ll give you here so I urge you to run over there to read more.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fjallravenkankenoutlet.me.uk\/\">Fjallraven Kanken Backpack<\/a> But for now, I&#8217;ll tell you what I did after I read the article. I made Golden Milk. Here&#8217;s the video that includes how to make your paste &#8211; which you then add to milk (dairy or non dairy) to make this yummy treat. <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jYCQb2YNGt4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe> So the paste is basically: 1\/4 teaspoon turmeric powder 1\/2 cup water (plus up to another cup water as needed) Heat the water over low heat, stir in turmeric powder and keep stirring for at least 7 minutes, adding more water as it starts to dry out &#8211; keeping it smooth and silky. A couple of things that I added: I made the paste as directed but added a few turns of black pepper as I was stirring since the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realfarmacy.com\/kitchen-table-strategies-effectively-optimize-turmeric-maximum-bioavailability-therapeutic-potency\/\" target=\"_blank\">RealFarmacy.com article<\/a> suggested it.  After I made the paste and scraped most of it into the glass jar for storage, I added my cup of milk (I used full fat, whole cow&#8217;s milk) to the same pan and scraped up the yummy leftover paste &#8211; which probably ended up being about a half a teaspoon.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mochilas-kanken.com.es\/mochilas-fjallraven-kanken-infantil.html\">Mochilas Fjallraven Kanken Infantil<\/a> Perfect! As this was heating I added a teaspoon of coconut oil, a pinch of cayenne pepper, another turn of black pepper, a pinch of ginger and about a 1\/8 teaspoon of cinnamon.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alter48.fr\/nike-air-max-2015.html\">nike air max 2015<\/a> Then I poured in about a teaspoon of maple syrup &#8211; my chosen sweetener.  Agave, coconut sugar, honey or even *gasp* white sugar would work too.  I stirred and let it heat to just below  boiling. One thing I didn&#8217;t do but will do next time is pour this mixture into my personal blender to make sure all the spices, oil and sweetener get mixed in very well.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve recently discovered the beautiful spice Turmeric (or Curcumin).
