Turmeric has long been used in traditional Indian medicine and is recognised as one of natures Superfoods. The ground spice is rich in compounds called curcuminoids and has recently been the focus of a BBC Health investigation in their programme Trust Me Im a Doctor.
While taking a teaspoon of turmeric powder every day, mixing it into yogurt or a glass of warm milk had a measurable effect, taking turmeric capsules had no effect at all.
Experts think that it’s cooking with turmeric that makes it more digestible allowing the curcumin to be easily absorbed, especially when it’s mixed with black pepper and oil.
