Turmeric ground - 100g VIVIO

Ground turmeric is an excellent addition to stews, soups and rice. It also perfectly emphasizes the taste of broth, poultry, fish, seafood and various types of pickles.

Use in the kitchen:
• A dye called curcumin is made from turmeric. It is used to color rice, pasta and pickled vegetables.
• Turmeric is used to flavor sauces and poultry dishes.
• Interestingly, turmeric can 'be cheated on saffron', noted famous traveler Marco Polo. Turmeric is similar in color to saffron and although the taste is completely different, it can be successfully used as a substitute.
To increase the bioavailability of turmeric curcumin, it is recommended to add it to dishes in the presence of pepper, since piperine increases its bioavailability. However, you can also easily add it to cocktails and smoothies for amazing color. To make the color more intense, the turmeric or curry should be lightly braised in a little coconut oil or butter.
