How to get the most out of your Turmeric
Had the good fortune to experience panchakarma treatment in Delhi once. The super Gent running the Clinic and the main Ayur Ved Doc, gave us all a cookery lesson or two whilst there, Really sweet of him.
When cooking with Turmeric he puts it on last, Taking the pan of vegetarian food off the heat, Gives it a little stir to release any heat pockets. Then he stirs in the Turmeric. The Sweet Aroma is Devine, You will know when you get it right. and the taste? It Is Lush. Heavenly
The Art/Science part. Overheating it greatly reduces the benefit. Getting it warmed up sufficiently assists in releasing the goodies and the bodies ability to absorb the same.
Meals where cooked in Ghee usually (Organic Clarified butter), It has a lower burning point than most other options so the possibility of overcooking food is reduced. All this keeping the nutrients nutrient and available. Mystery solved as to why the Folk in India get less cancer. Hope this helps.
Credit must go to Doctor Raj ...... and the Maharishi, Enjoy :o)
