The Benefits Of Turmeric Plus A Recipe For A Turmeric Latte

Turmeric (also known locally as borrie) has long been lauded for its medicinal-like qualities and, as with all fashionable things, it has been having its moment in the spotlight. The benefits of turmeric are many; up until now, the turmeric that you’ve consumed has probably been in a curry or some kind of spicy dish – it’s recognisable by its potent yellow colour. Of late, however, we’ve seen turmeric drinks becoming popular, with the turmeric latte (also called golden milk) being the forerunner.

So, why has this humble spice drink found its way onto everyone’s Pinterest board? Well, pretty much because it’s really good for you and it’s also really tasty.

BENEFITS OF TURMERIC

Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and it also contains curcumin, which is a natural anti-inflammatory. It is also known to detoxify and more recently has been recognised for improving cognitive function, balancing blood sugar and helping with kidney function. As a flavour, it also works really well with other ingredients that are also known for their useful properties – namely ginger (immune boosting and anti-inflammatory), cinnamon (sugar balancing, anti-microbial and an antioxidant) and cardamom (helps with digestion and combats nausea).
