Turmeric Powder Organic 500 g

Uses

As a spice, it is used in the preparation of fish dishes and seafood, soups, ragouts, rice dishes, pasta, potatoes, and in combination with coconut milk, in pancakes and egg dishes. It is indispensable in the preparation of curries, the well-known Worcestershire sauce and spicy mustard sauces, and can also be added to teas and other beverages. When used in cooked dishes, it should be added at least 5 minutes before the end of cooking. This helps to mellow its otherwise slightly bitter and astringent taste.

It can also be used in body scrubs and preparations to soothe skin irritations, but take care as it may leave yellow marks on the skin. We can also make a face mask using a teaspoon of turmeric, a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of sour cream. Mix well, apply to the face and leave on for a few minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. Cleanse and moisturise your skin as usual.

For better absorption, we recommend taking turmeric with a pinch of black pepper and a little fat. It is best to prepare the famous turmeric milk, also known as golden milk, every day before bed. To make the drink, stir half a teaspoon of turmeric powder and a quarter of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon into 200 ml of hot plant-based milk, then add a pinch of pepper and half a teaspoon of coconut oil. If using (raw) cow’s milk, you can omit the coconut oil as it contains enough fat. If desired, add a little cardamom, a quarter of a teaspoon of ground ginger and sweeten to taste with honey, sugar or maple syrup. Heat briefly whilst stirring constantly, but do not bring to the boil.

For mouth ulcers or canker sores in the mouth, you can prepare an antiseptic turmeric paste using a tablespoon of honey and a quarter of a tablespoon of turmeric, and apply it directly to the sore or affected area in the mouth.

We recommend consuming half to one teaspoon of turmeric powder daily for at least 6 weeks.
