Thanks to Faith, I have discovered this!Researched it and now I use it on almost everything!! It is good tasting and seems to be so, so healthy for the body. Funny, tho, as Faith warned me, I find my plastic ware stained and my dishwater greenish...  But I think for all thinking about general health, it is worth looking into! IP: Logged |

I throw some into a veggie broth and drink it in a mug- I put a teaspoon of it in just before serving ( I like it strong)- otherwise everything is tainted yellow. lolIP: Logged |

Does turmeric taste like mud or is it just me? It's my least fave spice when I'm making Indian food. Orange mud.  IP: Logged |

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! It seems with tumeric it is love or hate... I believe it is the basis for Indian Curry, which I love also! IP: Logged |

Guh, I've tried to like curry...I've really, really tried...but I just don't. So, I should pass on tumeric, then? IP: Logged |

Try the spice Garam Masala. It's the base for making an Indian curry. If you hate it, then that's your answer. It has curry and turmeric in it. Oddly enough, I don't hate the turmeric in it, but then again I do love Indian food. IP: Logged |

Turmeric is of the ginger family.
Hmm, now I'm thinking that maybe I should try fresh turmeric since my love for ginger exploded when I switched from ground ginger to fresh one. IP: Logged |
