The gold of the kitchen? Turmeric, save us!
When it's dingy and stormy outside, hot tea can do wonders. Who wants a bit of variety in his hot water or just wants to be hip, takes turmeric.
The "golden milk"? one for all
The "Tumeric Latte" is one of the most popular drinks among hip foodies. While it is offered only sporadically in Germany, Starbucks and Co have already made the "Golden Milk" into a top seller in the USA, Great Britain and Australia. What is also possible here: mix yourself. Meanwhile, there are already a few "turmeric latte" powder that need only be mixed with milk.
Teeth stain with turmeric
Hard-boiled people eat roots like ginger and turmeric also pure? Yuck! This is not really a good idea with turmeric, because it causes discoloration of the teeth much faster than tea, coffee and nicotine combined. However, turmeric can also whiten the teeth if it is used in a targeted manner and well dosed? insane. Incidentally, the coloring effect is so strong that even knives turn orange when cutting the root. And the rust look is pretty persistent.
Common cold turmeric ginger
We have long since internalized how well ginger affects our health. Together with his little brother, the ginger plant turmeric, nothing really can happen. The root helps against ... actually everything: for indigestion, cancer, Alzheimer's, inflammation, arthritis and much more. Due to their anti-inflammatory effect, the two roots are particularly popular in the winter / cold period.
Simply add a piece of ginger root with water in the pot and boil, half a teaspoon turmeric and who wants, also a pinch of pepper. The should strengthen the effect, which is however controversial. If in doubt, it also does a sardine pouch Kurkumatee.
What juicy with turmeric
The taste of ginger plants is unique. This also applies to turmeric. Therefore applies? as with all hip superfoods? just make a smoothie. With pineapple, mango or orange as a base, the whole thing tastes much sweeter. Coconut oil is also good because it improves the turmeric effect even more. Well then cheers!
The turmeric chef
As an Indian spice, turmeric belongs in the Indian cuisine. Also rice, pasta and pancakes can be refined with it. Just do not ask too much, because then it tastes somehow strict.
