Turmeric not only provides the typical yellow color in curry mixtures, but also gives “Golden Milk” its name. The so-called “golden root” can be used in a variety of ways to give dishes and drinks a pleasantly hot and intensely spicy note.
Turmeric, especially the polyphenol curcumin it contains, helps with digestive problems and soothes the stomach. Turmeric promotes fat digestion in the stomach and intestines, thereby preventing feelings of fullness and flatulence after high-fat food.
