If you aren’t familiar with turmeric, you may want to start with just ½ tsp and then move up to ¾ tsp as your palate becomes more familiar with the taste.

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is an old Indian spice that has been used for thousands of years and is widely proclaimed a “superfood”. Healthline.com goes so far as to say that it “may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence!”.

This little spice gets its power from a powerful antioxidant called curcumin. Studies show that this little antioxidant fights inflammation in the body. As many experts believe that chronic inflammation plays a big role in almost every major disease, anti-inflammatory foods are critical to our health. Some studies have shown that turmeric may be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs (without the negative side effects, of course)! It’s impressive stuff!

As a quick side, cinnamon is also high in curcumin. By including both in this delicious drink, you reap tons of benefits. The two flavors also complement each other extremely well. Cinnamon tends to be a more common flavor in American cuisine, so adding a bit to this latte makes the whole beverage delicious. If you love cinnamon, don’t miss these oats.

Where can I buy turmeric?

Happily, turmeric is widely available in most grocery stores. Take a stroll down your friendly spice or baking aisle and you’ll find the yellow spice nestled in between the oregano and salt. If you can’t find it where you live, Amazon will be happy to deliver it.
