Turmeric - What Do YOU Do With It?

[Gavan Murphy aka The Healthy Irishman]

Does Indian food hold a key ingredient to keeping our memory fit? I read an article recently which was titled, “10 Ways to Improve Your Memory”. Though I only caught the first 5 (I can’t remember the other ones), they were great to know because they’re already healthy choices.

Fast forward to #5: Curry Flavor. Studies found that turmeric-the yellow spice that gives curry its distinctive color-increases brain function when eaten at least once every six months.

This is brilliant news in my book so I must figure out what to do with Turmeric. As much as I love Indian food I don’t have many recipes for it (I am an Irishman after all), so I went surfing to find a recipe that not only looked as good as it sounded but also had my new favorite spice, turmeric. I found a great recipe for Gobi Mattar but I'm still searching for more. Hence the question, If turmeric is in your spice rack, what do you do with it?

I love Indian food, plus, having been to India several times, I can cook the food, too. But, my recipes aren't anything I've written down, just a little of this and a little of that.

Another use for termeric is to use it if you want to have a more bold yellow in your food. I've used it in chicken noodle soup to give it a golden yellow color.

Gavan, the Cauliflower and Peas, look delicious. If it makes people "smarter" that's even better.

hello all,
Yes, the tumeric is great for an anti-inflammatory and increases energy. You can use the roots in cooking or tea, but it can be strong----depends what you like.

I prefer to just get a good supplement from New Chapter as they are all organic, and mixed with good herbs for pain too. I get one called Zyflamend for my sore wrist and knee, have been using it for 5 years now!!!
