recipes for Tumeric

My DH who was recently diagnosed with dimentia was told by his neurologist that if more people took a low dose aspirin and ate Tumeric every day he would see only half his patients! So,I figure, use more Tumeric in my cooking. But other than Indian food, does any one have recipes which use Tumeric? I know it sounds like a silly claim but what's to hurt?

LMS, I haven't tried this yet. I ran into it Spice shopping on The Spice House web site. I am going to try it, I eat a lot of salads.

I use lots of Turmeric. I buy the ground Turmeric from Penzey's or grind the fresh root myself. I put it everything-soup, egg dishes, casseroles, smoothies, baking. It will stain!!! They use it to dye fabrics. Experiment with it, other than the staining-I don't really notice it and I use a lot. Good luck with your husband. I hope it helps-as you said, it won't hurt!

I take a daily supplement of it and add a teaspoon to my smoothies. I have fibromyalgia, and it is good for inflammation.

I'm a big believer in turmeric. I take a daily supplement of it and use it in my cooking.

Perhaps the most unusual (but one of my favorite) ways I use it is to add 1/4 teaspoon to a color conditioning mask for my hair which I do about once a month. It adds nice golden highlights to the gray in my hair. I call it my DIY hair frosting.

I used turmeric to make rice. I brown onions, butter and add the turmeric and then make your rice with chicken stock instead of water.

Does anyone have any additional ways to use turmeric

If you want to use egg whites or tofu to make scrambled eggs, or omelets-the Turmeric will make it look like regular, whole eggs.

Turmeric also helps regulate blood sugar, and as tigriss said, it's good for inflammation. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. Google this. Tons of supplements available on Amazon and elsewhere. It's good to cook with turmeric, but unless you enjoy eating Indian- flavored food every day, the supplements are a lot simpler.

I also take Zyflamend and so do my parents. I take 2000-3000 mg of turmeric with the Zyflamend as well. This really helps my fibro, plus what I put in my smoothies.

Sorry to hear about your situation.... How about just to get Andrew Lessman's Tumeric supplements. It is clean, USA made. I am buying it and I feed my DH and Myself with it. Hopefully it will work. Both of us has Altzheimer's in families. I am feeding him a baby aspirin a day since he turned 45, he is 59 now. We also take fish oil, coQ10, lots of D3 ,magnesium. Nobody knows if possible to beat the genetics but we are trying. Best wishes to you.

Hi little miss sunshine! I have a delicious recipe from one of my Barefoot Contessa cookbooks for a soup called Cheddar Corn Chowder. It has lots of corn, onions, potatoes, chicken broth, white cheddar, etc. I make it healthier with some of the ingredients, but it is something we make from autumn through winter. It also has turmeric in it and because my husband and I like the taste of this spice, we actually add more than the recipe calls for. If you would like the recipe or would like to know which cookbook of hers it's in, let me know!

Using turmeric in food is not an adequate amt to be therapeutic. Look under the word curcumin as well. Dr Perlmutter's books, DrAxe.com, mercola.com, naturalnews.com etc. I am not a believer in the usage of aspirin. Start reading. There is a ton of info on-line and bks to buy. Do your own research. Listening to an MD about nutrition for the most part is going back to the Dark Ages and worse. Also consider your vaccinations! I also am starting to add turmeric/curcumin. Oh- and see greenmedinfo.com as well. Going to put it on cauliflower and into eggs and starting tonight! Just read 6 new articles about it tonight. There are many more supplements needed than just adding turmeric into food- which wold have minimal effect. Best of luck in your research.
