Valuable ingredients
The most important ingredient that makes turmeric so special is curcumin. This is a natural plant substance from the group of polyphenols, which is responsible for the intense yellow colour. In addition to curcumin, the root also contains essential oils, vitamins such as B1, B2, B6 and vitamin E, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc. As curcumin is fat-soluble, turmeric should always be eaten together with a source of fat (such as oil) so that the body can absorb it better.
Promotion of well-being
Turmeric is considered a highly nutritious food and is often used to improve overall wellbeing. It is particularly known for its ability to scavenge harmful substances in the body. This property helps the body to neutralise free radicals and thus protects the cells. It is traditionally valued for its ability to aid digestion and improve overall well-being. It promotes the production of bile and helps you feel balanced after eating.
How to use
The root can be used freshly grated or as a dried powder. A tried and tested tip to increase the absorption of the active ingredients is to add black pepper, whose piperine can significantly improve the absorption of curcumin in the body. A popular drink is "golden milk", which is turmeric prepared with plant milk, ginger and a little fat. Incorporating it into your daily diet - whether in smoothies, soups or curries - is an uncomplicated way to benefit from its beneficial properties.
