Aside from the delicious benefit of boosting food flavour, there are so many wonderful reasons for you to incorporate turmeric into your life! In case you didn't know, turmeric is a bright yellow aromatic powder obtained from the rhizome of a plant of the ginger family ( just to be technical). Basically it's the holy grail spice that gives curry that yellow colour.

Due to its amazing health benefits, people are including it in everyday cooking, rather than just the usual curry.

So why does everyone love turmeric?

Well here are a few reasons as to why turmeric is so great:

* It is a strong antioxidant.

* It has powerful anti inflammatory effects and can ease joint pain.

* Fights colds and flu.

* Helps with indigestion.

* Can assist weight loss.

* Reduces bloating.

* Boosts the immune system.

You may like to add it to your scrambled eggs, soups, smoothies and teas. Bonus! Many cafes now serve trendy turmeric lattes. Try it fresh or buy the powder and add a bit of turmeric to your life today.

But careful it doesn't get on your clothes, it can stain!
