Mustard-turmeric dressing - a combo of mustard oil, turmeric oil, apple cider vinegar and honey. A squeeze of lime is good too. I'd make my own turmeric oil.
The dressing is great with roasted brussels sprouts. It's also divine with salads, drizzled on soups and over baked vegetables. It adds colour, tang and zing to any dish.

Who’s been eating turmeric? (Answer: My brother’s pet sheep). #animals #sheep #turmeric #photooftheday
@LifeTimeCooking Home made fermented hot sauce is so tasty. I am glad you are pleased. The complex flavors are a concentrated kitchen treasure. We also dilute during cooking with this variety of concentrated ferment. It’s inspiring what the ingredients have become from the fermentation. You are on top of the world. #fermentation, #garlic, #ginger, #turmeric, #hotchilisauce, #solarpunk, #growyourown.

So, another thing that really sucks about #RFKJr's appointment is that real natural remedies (some based on traditional medicines) could be lumped in with whatever #Idiocracy is spewed out by RFK. For instance, how anti-inflammatory #Turmeric could help prevent dementia, or how #ShikimicAcid from #PineNeedle tea could help with influenza, or how #FermentedFoods could keep us healthy. All backed up with studies.

The price for #Saffron this year seems to be around 3500€/kg for both Spanish and Afghan origin. I just ordered 5 grams to stock up (it lasts very long, as you really only need minuscule amounts). #LifeHack you can also give your rice a nice yellow colour with #Turmeric AKA #Kurkuma. But the saffron aroma is unbeatable, IMHO.
Here’s one for the ‘markets can self-regulate’ crowd.
Turmeric in South Asia is treated with lead, enhancing colour but causing incurable disease & premature death in millions.
In Bangladesh, it took a massive coordinated campaign of government policy, legal action, education & raids on stores, markets & producers to stop it.
@appassionato Another reason to drink anti-inflammatory #Turmeric / #Ginger tea (with a peppercorn). My thinking is that #Curcumin (found in both ginger and turmeric) helps to reduce the inflammation (and gum disease -- which I have NO issues with).

Quite an illustrative case of food supplement industry and alt-med parasitizing on genuine medical research:
Aggarwal was particularly drawn to curcumin, a non-toxic compound found in turmeric that has long been staple in Ayurvedic systems of medicine. He authored more than 120 articles about the compound from 1994 to 2020. These articles reported that curcumin had therapeutic potential for a variety of diseases, including various cancers, Alzheimer’s disease and, more recently, COVID-19. MD Anderson Cancer Center initially appeared to be fully on board with Aggarwal’s work. At one point, their website’s FAQ page recommended visitors buy curcumin wholesale from a company for which Aggarwal was a paid speaker (see “Spice Healer”, Scientific American). However, in 2012 (following observations of image manipulation raised by pseudonymous sleuth Juuichi Jigen), MD Anderson Cancer Center launched a research fraud probe against Aggarwal which eventually led to 30 of Aggarwal’s articles being retracted.
This is an atrocious headline. It's not the turmeric plant--it's the lead chromate that gets put on the plant.
But it explain where that lead contamination comes from in this spice you might have.
