Turmeric is one of the most valuable spice trade, not for its price, but for its health properties: antioxidant, antibatteriche, It helps detoxify the liver, valuable help for diabetics as it runs counter cholesterol and blood sugar, painkiller and anti-inflammatory, anti constipation and strengthens the immune system. I stop here not to bore, but the list is still long.

If you do not like to use turmeric powder you can prepare at home a fantastic aromatic oil which you can use on salads, potatoes, vegetables, pasta, rice or in any dish including pizza.
