“Turmeric is a lively root, with a heady, earthy fragrance, known for its Hogwarts magical healing powers and can transform unglamorous, frumpy vegetables into golden anti-inflammatory bundles of wellness,” says Lee.
“By adding a sprinkling of cracked pepper to this dish, the curcuminoids (the actual anti-inflammatory phytochemicals in turmeric) are made available to the body,” says Dr. Pedre.
Supercharged Tip: If you are using fresh turmeric, handle with care as it stains easily, if you do happen to turn your favorite garment yellow. Try squeezing on lemon juice or eucalyptus oil to help remove turmeric stains.
