At this point, we all know that turmeric has amazing anti-inflammatory properties, but how many turmeric lattes can we possibly drink?!
I’m at an age where my joints are starting to creak and pop–no doubt exacerbated by my insistence on sitting like a pretzel–and I’ve been trying to incorporate more turmeric into my cooking. After going through all the obvious uses, like adding to curries and rice or tossing with vegetables before roasting them, I’ve been on the lookout for some more creative options.
If you’re looking for more turmeric recipes too, I’ve rounded up some of my favorites below.
