I think turmeric is one of the greatest spices we can add to our diets for so many reasons.
Ground turmeric is perfectly good, but grated fresh turmeric is even better. It's probably not possible to have a curry every night of the week, so I try to think of other ways to incorporate it into my diet. This one works like a charm.
