Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory agent; a blood purifier, improve liver function and has a soothing effect on respiratory ailments.  It helps the body to digest proteins, when mixed with coriander and cumin it aids in the digestion of complex carbohydrates.  Now,  I know you are asking, “What are complex carbohydrates?

Complex carbohydrates are chains of three or more single sugar molecules linked together. Long chains of sugar molecules called starches serve as a storage form of energy in plants and when you eat those plants, your body breaks down the carbohydrates for your own energy needs.  

Foods with the most complex carbohydrates include legumes, starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn, rice and grain products.   Other vegetables such as green beans, broccoli and spinach contain less starch, but they have more fiber.

It is said, that turmeric will create glowing skin, reduce risk of cancer, lower cholesterol, and improve brain function.  It can also be used in foods to enhance the flavor, such as soups, steam vegetables, stir-fry and on raw vegetables and fruits.

Happy eating!.. says Ms. Bettie
