Turmeric is used in Ayurvedic medicine as a digesting healing agent.

When incorporated into your healthy home cooking, turmeric can improve digestion, and reduce gas and bloating by stimulating bile production in the liver and encouraging excretion of bile via the gall bladder, which improves the body’s ability to digest fats. It improves the intestinal flora and is now being explored and utilized as a treatment for IBS-related diseases. Wahoo!

Turmeric is more bioavailable when consumed with fats, eaten with quercetin-rich foods (plant foods), and sprinkled with black pepper. Try yours in a homemade salad dressing like mine, to spice things up. Pour over grain bowls, salad, bean bowls, you name it. Also great as a sandwich dressing or dipping sauce with a wrap.
