Haldi Turmeric Needs this ingredient to be absorbed properly

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: May 10, 2018

turmeric root and powder

Curcumin is taking the Western world by storm. While Indians have been using it daily in their curry and dishes. But there is one essential information missing to the Western people, which I am sure we Indians will soon copy and lose the benefits of Haldi or Turmeric.

In Indian curry masala and dishes, we add a lot of various garam masalas in powdered or seed, flower, fruit, bark or leaf form. We add one teaspoon and we are done. Thank God for the ancient cooking in India. Such knowledge and richness passed down to generations without having to worry about healthy food.

But ever since we globalized our cuisine and food recipes, we are adopting Western recipes too which lack the essential benefit of Garam Masalas. All they add is a bit of salt and pepper. A little more enterprising chef may try adding parsley and garlic.

Jai Ho our traditional gyan of recipes that we were blessed with different masalas that must be added with different vegetables, pulses, and non-vegetarian dishes.

Off late the latest fad in West is to consume Turmeric. I was quite surprised to read that they add haldi in their coffee and tea. Well its stupid to add a good ingredient with a bad one like coffee and tea. But I will not discuss tea and coffee in this post but how to not copy the western way to consuming haldi.

So we Indians need not worry as we take atleast one teaspoon haldi per day in our food.

But if you want to increase your intake for health benefits like fighting cold, cough, inflammation, joint pains then you must know the right way to consume.

If you want to drink Haldi in Milk with honey or sugar, add one teaspoon of Ghee. Haldi is absorbed faster when it has an oily friend along with it. Else most of haldi will be down the flush.

And now the most important ingredient that will ensure that haldi is absorbed by maximum percentage and not flushed out by the liver or kidney is Kali mirch powder or black pepper powder. If you have to drink one tsp of Haldi in warm water, you must add a pinch of kali mirch powder. Black pepper is proven to increase the absorption of curcumin in Haldi by tenfold.

pepper

I boil lots of ginger and haldi and add a pinch of pepper whenever I sip a glass of this powerful anti-inflammatory drink. Give it to elderly people especially.

Though I have not yet gotten my sons to develop taste for this awesome drink, I guess when they are grown up they will read my blog and drink the power drink.

Parenting tips

Baking white chocolate cake recipe or teaching value of free time?

Decided to not do any office work today ie Saturday. My son instantly asked me if I would bake a white chocolate cake. Honestly, my idea of relaxing is never going into the kitchen but watching my pre-recorded tv programs and sleeping. But since he asked, I did not want to disappoint him immediately. But […]

How my kids stopped cribbing about brown bread sides

Yesterday my son complained to me. “Mom, why don’t you chop off the sides of the sandwich? All my friends bring sandwiches that are neatly cut.” I am not in favor or wasting any good food. It’s criminal to waste even a single grain. So out of the blue I said,” You are being racist!” […]

The Boron Letters Chapter 2

I often wrote to my sons when they were tiny. I had created their Gmail accounts before they were born and would post them letters whenever I came across something interesting, inspiring or worth sharing. Nowadays WhatsApp has taken the load though, in my opinion, an email is always a better way to share memories. […]

Mom What is a Strike?

Recently a friend asked me how I would answer this question, if my children asked me “What is a strike?” Since I have already told my kids about it long back, I will repeat it here. “When sometime you have a problem that no one is bothering to solve, then you start to talk to […]
