Turmeric's Health Benefits and Vibrant Color
Turmeric has a rustic, earthy, and slightly bitter flavor, while its color is a fiery golden orange that adds warmth and depth to your dish. Besides having vibrant color and engaging taste, turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and powerful antioxidant. It combats the effect of free radicals as well as Alzheimer's disease. Adding a little turmeric to your cooking can be a win-win situation for both your brain and your taste buds.

Beautiful photo! Tumeric is supposed to be an upcoming, trendy ingredient. Have you seen it fresh? I heard fresh turmeric is similar to ginger.
