Turmeric is a plant, but only the root is used. Either fresh or ground (powdered). In powder, as we have it available in our shop, it is easily identifiable by its intense yellow color. We can use it in dishes to give both flavour and colour
Used in powder, and in small quantities, you will not notice too much flavor, as it is quite soft. Its contribution is mainly in terms of color. The taste, perhaps we could describe it as a little bit bitter.

What is turmeric?
Is turmeric similar to curry?
Some of you ask us if the taste is similar. It's a bit difficult to describe flavors in words. But curry is a mixture of spices, and among others, has turmeric. But we have already said that it has a much milder flavor.
Turmeric and ginger are the same thing?
Many of you have this doubt, but they are totally different. They are both roots, but different
And now that we know more or less what it is, let's see what turmeric is for and how to take it
How to make the most of all the properties of Turmeric.
Combining turmeric with black pepper.
I don't know if you've ever heard, but it is often recommended that turmeric, when used, be also accompanied by black pepper. Why? Black pepper has a compound that helps turmeric to be better absorbed. That is, combining them, we get better use of the properties of turmeric.
For the curious, the more detailed explanation is that piperine (the pungent compound in pepper) prevents some compounds in turmeric from being degraded in the intestines, before being absorbed
It is also often recommended to be accompanied by fats, as this also helps to improve absorption. At the end we will see some examples of how to achieve this
We should not overcook turmeric
Many of the properties are lost when we cook turmeric for several minutes. The easiest solution is to add it once we have finished cooking the dish. If in any case it is not possible, nothing will happen, just know that the properties will not be the same
Golden milk or "Golden Milk"
This drink is fashionable. It is a drink that is prepared with milk (either animal or vegetable) and turmeric. Perhaps it is more appetizing in winter, because always warm drinks are more appetizing (important to add turmeric after heating the milk). But in addition, women can take it during the menstrual cycle, since its anti-inflammatory effects help to soothe the pain.
In addition to milk and turmeric powder, we can put a pinch of cinnamon, pepper (for what we talked about before) and if you want it to be sweet a little bit of Stevia or crushed date paste. Sometimes, you also put a little coconut oil, as we have said, the fat also helps to improve the absorption of turmeric.
