Benefit from the goodness of Beyond Organic Turmeric Powder.

The growing importance of organic turmeric powder can be attributed to increased awareness on healthy and chemical-free food. Since ancient times, turmeric has been recognised for its medicinal values beyond its culinary uses.

What makes Turmeric Therapeutic?

It is Curcumin, the active compound present in turmeric responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties. Majority of diseases are caused due to inflammation. Besides controlling inflammation, turmeric is also a powerful antioxidant, essential for overall health. Curcumin also supports heart health by improving the function of blood vessels and reducing cholesterol levels.

A high curcumin turmeric is recognised for its various medicinal uses and benefits.

Turmeric works better when taken with black pepper

Though curcumin present in turmeric is associated with anti-inflammatory properties, most of the curcumin gets metabolised before getting absorbed due to digestive enzymes in the stomach that try to remove it from the bloodstream. Better absorption of curcumin is possible by combining it with black pepper as Piperine, the component of black pepper which gives a sharp taste to pepper, also helps in better absorption of curcumin when taken with pure organic turmeric powder. According to a study, Piperine can boost curcumin absorption by 2000%. Piperine slows down the breakdown of curcumin making it more available for the body.

Healthy combinations with Turmeric.

Honey – Pure honey is a natural healer high in amino acids. When combined with turmeric, it provides relief from various ailments such as cold, flu, indigestion, liver disorders and skin issues.

Black pepper – As mentioned earlier, black pepper helps better absorption of curcumin in turmeric. Black pepper and turmeric can be used in cooking vegetable curries, khichdi or health drinks. Best way to consume is by adding 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and 1/3 teaspoon of black pepper powder in a glass of warm milk. A tablespoon of pure honey can also be added. It helps fight infections and promotes good sleep.

Cinnamon – Cinnamon is also a powerful antioxidant and is believed to control blood sugar. Boil water with cinnamon, add a pinch of turmeric and consume as a detox water, every morning. This helps flush out toxins and boost metabolism.

Challenges associated with Organic Farming.

With the market being flooded by organic products, the authenticity remains a concern. Besides the organic manure is not always easily available and is usually expensive to maintain. It is labour-intensive and often leads to lower yields.
