You may be wondering.... why should I add turmeric to my oatmeal. Well... besides it's beautiful color and earthy taste, it's a super food. It's been used in Asian medicine for many years for its anti inflammatory properties. It's said to be great for detoxification and a host of other great properties.
There are many other ways you can use Turmeric in your food. The most popular is in curries. It can be used instead of curry powder in recipes in which curry powder is added for the color. Like in Nigerian Fried rice. Have you tried my Turmeric rice recipe yet or my Jamaican Beef Patties? What are you waiting for?? They are yum. ?
