Warm, earthy, bold in flavor. Healthy for you. But how do you actually eat it? And why should you really?
Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory. In the most basic sense, think of how you feel when you wake up with a sore throat. It hurts to swallow. The tissue in your throat is swollen.
The curcumin in turmeric helps fight the infection and inflammation.
You can find fresh turmeric now in many specialty grocers. In Chicago, I head to Devon Ave. to Fresh Farms International Market or to Whole Foods Market. Grab a bunch, wash it, and peel. Pro tip: Use gloves - my hands were stained yellow for days after this recipe!

You can eat it as is, or with a plate of Indian food. Also, try adding to sandwiches or salads. It's a fun, delicious way to enjoy your daily turmeric!
We've been eating a piece every morning and once at night in our house. The kids, too. The lemon juice does a lot to balance out the strong, earthy taste from the turmeric. Don't be afraid to let your kids try it!
