This seems to be the easiest. Thanks.
It does work. BUT. Researchers have found that it stays in your system longer for greater effect if taken with black pepper. Just a very little bit is fine. That combo is now on the market, I get mine on Amazon. I have auto-immune hepatitis, an inflammatory condition, and the tumeric/pepper combo SIGNIFICANTLY decreased the amount of steroid I have to take. Dogs can use it also, look for something called Lyfe Spyce by Nutro. There’s pepper in it.

That’s interesting about the pepper withthe tumeric. Im on the keto diet and have enjoyed making a variety of “bullet proof coffees”. You put a tbsp. Of bitter or ghee in the blender along with a tbsp. Of another good oil like avacado oil or cocoanut oil. I add pumpkin pie spices such as a shake or two of cinnamon,clove,ginger,nutmeg and a quarter teaspoon of tumeric. Add very hot coffee and blend for about 15 seconds. A tbsp. Of grounf flax works well withot too.
You end up with a frothy energy booster (for those who derive their energy from fats rather than sugars and starches) which is also very desert-like..a real treat for us diabetics with vascular disease. I’ll try it with a shake of pepper also.
Whats interesting is that theflavor of tje tumeric works well with all the otjer spices. It doesn’t stand out or try to take over the flavors.
I knew tumeric was supposed to begood for us, but hadn’t really read up on it much. Thanks for all the info!
Gonna get me some turmeric.
Of course, everyone used to know this..somehow:) My Grandparents, G Grandparents (all of whom lived well into their 90’s) had pickles of some sort on the table at every meal. Many types of veggies used to be pickled - and most of them included a healthy dose of turmeric.
They also had cottage cheese on the table at every meal (breakfast, too). Just sayin’
bkmk
Ghee...isn't that just melted butter with some solids strained out?
How 'bout sundried tomatoes and a little garlic?
That’s exactly what it is. Clarified butter.
You don’t need my permission. Sounds yummy too. The fruit version goes great with curries. Your version sounds like it would go well with Italian dishes or what to cover in stew.

Clarified butter and ghee are not exactly the same. Ghee is clarified butter that has been cooked longer to remove all the moisture, and the milk solids are browned (caramelized) in the fat and then strained out.
But you're right, all the moisture is evaporated out, and the solids skimmed. What remains is pure butterfat, great for frying, high smoking point, pretty good Vitamin A (if it's from grass-fed cows), no lactose (if that's an issue) and no refrigeration needed.
You are so right. In the days before refrigeration food still had to be stored.
I make kefir, the turmeric ginger bug and kombucha every day. I also make fermented pickles and various batches of sauerkraut also.saurkraut with cabbage, beets, onion, garlic and ginger, for instance. I also like to ferment cloves of garlic and keep them on hand for salad dressings or whatever.
Save for later
