Turmeric, belonging to the ginger family, has been used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine and cuisine. And for good reason, as its bright yellow color and unique aroma are accompanied by strong antioxidant, digestion-promoting, blood sugar-stabilizing, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is also an effective remedy for inflammatory processes affecting the joints. The characteristic bright yellow spice is obtained by drying and grinding the root and stem of the perennial plant Curcuma longa. It is one of the most famous spices in Asia, particularly favored in India.
Egy késhegynyi kurkumát bátran belekeverhetünk a legtöbb zöldséges ételbe, levesbe. Szépen színezi és ízletessé teszi a rizst. Pikáns, egzotikus keleti ízt ad a húsoknak, leveseknek, zöldséges ételeknek, de azért óvatosan használjuk, mert jellegzetes enyhén fanyar, kesernyés, némileg a gyömbérre emlékeztető íze egyhangúvá is teheti ételeinket. A kurkuma egyik fontos fűszere a Worchester szósznak, és a curry is ízletes kurkumin-forrásunk.
