You are being very polite to tumeric. I'd say it tastes strongly of dirt and soil.
I take it for inflamation in my knees. I told my doc about it, and he approved, but said I'd need to put a lot in my food to get any benefit, as it is not in the best, most available format.
I told him that I did not add it to food, but rather used a heaping teaspoon + water to make a paste and just forced it down my gullet, as it is so nasty I have not found a way to mitigate the dirt taste by mixing it into other food (it just ruins the food!)
The doc said to keep doing this. He also said I cannot OD on it.
Cannot imagine slugging it down the way you do. I'd have to add at least an equal amount of chocolate syrup. Or Sriracha.
Actually, the Sriracha might fix your knees. YOu can just rub it on. LOL
I mix it in V8 every morning.
I used to chase a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil with V8 but my wife finally laid down the law about the smell of the oil. Now I just take fish oil pills.
There are turmeric pills
