Turmeric<\/strong>, a bright golden spice, is a staple in many cuisines and traditional medicine systems around the world. Whether consumed fresh or dry, turmeric has impressive health benefits thanks to its active compound curcumin. Turmeric, or Curcuma longa<\/em>, is a plant in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that originates from South-East Asia and has been revered for its healing properties for thousands of years. Its benefits are supported by traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as by modern scientific research.
\nIt’s no secret that anything that is unprocessed has more nutrients. Curcumin is more abundant in fresh turmeric than in powdered form. Some curcumin is lost during the processing stage. Raw turmeric also contains more essential oils than processed turmeric, as drying and processing lose some of its essential oil value.<\/p>\n

Health benefits of turmeric<\/em>
\nDried turmeric has a longer shelf life than fresh turmeric, making it convenient to store and use for a long time.
\nWhile fresh turmeric has a higher curcumin content, dried turmeric powder is more concentrated, making it an effective way to consume higher doses of curcumin.
\nDried turmeric is ground into a powder, making it easy to add to a wide range of recipes, teas and food supplements.
\nStudies show that curcumin in turmeric powder can inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells, demonstrating the potential for cancer prevention and complementary therapy.
\nThe neuroprotective properties of curcumin in dried turmeric may help improve brain function and protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
\nTurmeric contains curcumin, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and can help with arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
\nThe antioxidant properties of curcumin in fresh turmeric help to neutralise free radicals, protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
\nRich in vitamins, minerals and essential oils, fresh turmeric boosts the immune system and strengthens the body’s defences against infections and diseases.
\nFresh and dried turmeric stimulates bile production, aids digestion and improves gut health.
\nDue to its anti-inflammatory nature, turmeric can provide natural pain relief for a wide range of conditions such as joint and headaches.<\/p>\n

How to use turmeric in food<\/em>
\nFresh turmeric – grate or crush fresh turmeric and add it to curries, stews, soups, smoothies or teas.<\/p>\n

Dried turmeric – add dry turmeric powder to soups, stews, rice dishes or lentil dishes, even sprinkle on salads for a warm and distinctive taste. You can also make tea, and golden milk with turmeric by mixing it with warm plant milk and a little sweetener.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the curcumin in turmeric is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. This reduces its health benefits.
\nHowever, the addition of black pepper can help. Studies claim that the combination of black pepper piperine and curcumin in turmeric increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.
\nCombining turmeric with black pepper therefore increases its potential health benefits.<\/p>\n

Side effects<\/em>
\nDigestive problems – both dry and fresh turmeric can cause gastrointestinal upset when used in large doses.
\nTurmeric should be avoided in cases of acute hepatitis, jaundice, gallstones, bile duct disease, ulcers and hyperacidity.
\nUse caution, especially when used in combination with blood thinners.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/em>
\nBoth fresh and dried turmeric have many health benefits due to its active compound curcumin. Whether you choose fresh turmeric for its intense flavour or dry turmeric for its convenience and concentrated curcumin content, incorporating this golden spice into your diet can certainly contribute to overall well-being and healthier living.<\/p>\n
