Tumeric


Tumeric, the spice of India for thousands of years, just think curries. The main ingredient in tumeric is curcumin, a natural antiseptic, antibacterial agent, anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. That's a whole lot of power to pack into one delicious spice. And if that wasn't enough to encourage you to use it in your diet, this wonder spice may aid in fat metabolism, making it useful for weight control. Research is being conducted to determine whether tumeric may have properties that can prevent or treat various types of cancer, cardiovascular disease and arthritis.
