As a fan of both supplemental turmeric you can find in pill form and the powdered golden turmeric used in cooking—I’ve got some unique suggestions to help you sneak the latter into your diet. If you’re new to the spice, something you should know about turmeric is that it provides a dominant color to whatever you add it to. Finding foods that share the yellow/orange color palette are the most discrete for sneaking in extra turmeric. Examples include: scrambled eggs, smoothies, and pasta sauces. But you can get creative!

Curcumin is fat soluble, therefore the absorption is improved when consumed with a dietary fat [1]. I recommend healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil, or fats found in naturally-raised animal products. You may also want to consider curcumin supplements, many of which provide advanced delivery techniques and appropriate concentrations for optimal curcumin absorption [4].

Adding turmeric to your diet can be an easy way to help promote a variety of health benefits for you, and your family! Enjoy the pure health potential of golden turmeric today!
