Published on October 13, 2019, turmeric has been a staple in many cuisines for its unique flavor and medicinal properties. This spice, often mistaken for ginger, has a deep yellow colour and a slightly bitter taste when fresh.
As a nutritional supplement, turmeric is considered one of the most effective due to its bioactive compounds. These compounds assist in reducing inflammation, particularly in the digestive system, and contain antioxidants that protect against free radicals, which contribute to cancer development.
Turmeric is also a rich source of minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, and magnesium. You can purchase fresh turmeric from vegetable and fruit markets for approximately Sh200-250 for half a kilogram.
