Dragon Superfoods Turmeric powder

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial plant with a highly branched root system. It originates from Southeast Asia and has been used in Ayurveda as a spice and medicinal plant for millennia. In 1815, curcumin was isolated from the plant's root - the active ingredient in turmeric, which has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. It is precisely curcumin that gives the root its specific yellow-orange color.

The superfood turmeric is used as an immunostimulant and a supplement for general body strengthening. It is used for heartburn as an alkalizing food. Its strong anti-inflammatory properties make it one of the most preferred foods for joint pain caused by inflammation. Turmeric is one of the natural antioxidants. It can contribute to the normal functions of the cardiovascular system. Turmeric is rich in vitamins C, E, K, as well as B vitamins, manganese, iron, potassium, magnesium, and fiber.

Turmeric for weight loss? This is actually one of the traditional uses of turmeric-based products. The polyphenols contained in them help accelerate the breakdown of fats in the body, prevent their deposition, and activate fat deposits for energy conversion. Turmeric is also a characteristic spice in Asian cuisine, used for flavoring and coloring, but also as a natural preservative, as it protects food from spoilage in hot weather.

How to use: It can be added to dishes, pastries, desserts, drinks, or used to prepare tea.
