Top 20 Uses For Turmeric

 Top 20 Uses for Turmeric savorylotus.com

Did you see my post last week on 5 Amazing Health Benefits of Turmeric?  I’m mildly obsessed with this anti-inflammatory spice right now.  So, in honor of this potent power spice,  here are my Top 20 Uses for Turmeric.

Turmeric: a real powerhouse

I love herbs and spices that have dual functions.  What better way to get your medicine than with culinary spices that taste amazing.  I fell in love with turmeric when I visited India several years ago.  The golden orange spice that colors Indian curries is a powerhouse of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.  Cultures that eat healthy amounts of this spice have been shown to have less  diseases like arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimers/dementia, and even some cancers.  I personally use turmeric liberally in my cooking.  I just love it.  And  to make sure that I get enough, I like to make my own turmeric capsules by buying it in bulk and encapsulating it myself.  Read more about the health benefits of turmeric HERE.

So why not broaden your palate a bit and add some more turmeric into your life?

🍋 🍋 LEMON POPPY SEED DONUTS • when life gi 🍋 🍋 LEMON POPPY SEED DONUTS • when life gives you a bag of lemons, you make the best of it • even though we prioritize healthy eating, there’s room for treats like these • we call it balance 😉 • baking is one of my favorite things to do with my little one👩‍🍳 • we’ve had a year solid of being home, distance learning, + missing being out in the world • baking is one of those small pockets of JOY that brightens our daily life ☀️☀️

collard green
green cabbage
purple cabbage 
carrot 
tons of fresh ginger 

👉 and, yes, not everyone tolerates cruciferous vegetables • i didn’t used too • i’ve done a lot of work on my gut + digestion • and i still prefer them cooked as they are easier to digest • eat slowly • give thanks (gratitude has a positive effect on the nervous system) • chew well (so your body can release all the enzymes needed to digest your food) ❤️• it’s so so important to eat in a relaxed environment so the body can rest + digest • eating while in “hurry” mode leads to indigestion and poor absorption
