Turmeric Organic. While beautiful in color, this spice is subtle, warm, slightly bitter, woodsy, and similar to ginger. A necessary ingredient in curry powders, yellow coloring agent, mustard, and Indian cooking. The spice that gives Indian curry its color, is greatly used in Indian medicine. Lately, turmeric has been getting massive attention as an anti-inflammatory and a strong cancer fighter. The chemical responsible for turmeric’s golden color, called circumin, is considered a top anticancer agent, helping to quell the inflammation that contributes to tumor growth. Lab studies show turmeric helps stop the growth and spread of cancer cells that do form. Studies have linked turmeric to reduced inflammation in a number of conditions, including, psoriasis. In animal studies, circumin decreased the formation of amyloid, the stuff that makes up the brain deposits characteristic in people with Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric is now prescribed by doctors to combat inflammation. Now that's what we call pulling double duty!

For a tasty twist:

• Sprinkle 1/2 tsp onto 2 cups of hot  white rice
• add cilantro and drained black beans
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil and combine
• salt to taste

Earthy, flavorful and salty. This salt blend will kick up the flavor of eggs and vegetables. Use this blend in place of plain salt, a little goes a long way. Because this blend is loaded with turmeric, black pepper is added to help with absorption for medicinal purposes associated with the active ingredient in turmeric (curcumin). Recently, turmeric has gained the recognition of the scientific community for its potential for lowering cholesterol, reducing blood sugar in diabetics, relieving arthritis, supporting liver function, improving digestion, reducing menstrual cramps, reducing inflammation in the colon, wound healing, fighting cancer (piperine enhances curcumin's effects), preventing and/or slowing Alzheimer's disease. As a matter of fact, a 2009 study by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center applied piperine (a compound found in black pepper) and curcumin ( a compound found in turmeric) to breast cancer cells in a laboratory dish. The spices, when used in combination, reduced the number of stem cells and did not harm normal breast cells. Its broad medicinal uses are due to its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antioxidant qualities.

Add more oil if needed to obtain the consistency that works for you.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus - 3/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, 2 cans garbanzo beans /chickpeas drained and rinsed, 1/4 cup tahini paste (see recipe above) 2 1/2 tbs. olive oil, 1 1/2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. guajillo chili (pure), 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic, 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika, pinch of cayenne pepper and 1/2 tsp. salt. Add all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth. If the mixture is too thick add 1 tbs. water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
