Cooking with Turmeric

The root spice turmeric has long been a steady force in Caribbean and Indian cuisine. Now that Americans are becoming more health conscience, consumers are looking for foods with anti-inflammatory properties and active ingredients that offer beneficial nutrients. Turmeric is actually a root, much like ginger, that has a deep golden color. Ground turmeric can be found in the spice section of most grocery stores. Here are five ways to implement turmeric to your meal plan.

  1. Add 1 teaspoon to your favorite smoothie for added flavor and nutrients.
  2. Sauté vegetables with coconut oil and turmeric. Studies show that combining turmeric with black pepper and a fat source like olive oil or coconut oil can improve the absorption of turmerics nutrients. Thus enhancing its ability to fight cancer, Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
  3. Add color and nutrition to rice with turmeric. Place 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon in the water when cooking your favorite rice variety.
  4. Sprinkle turmeric over the top of hummus for added flavor.
  5. Add extra nutrients to boxed mac and cheese by adding turmeric to the cheese sauce.
