Health Benefits
​
Turmeric is one of the world's healthiest super foods! Adding this spice into a dish that compliments it will add a number of health benefits!
The spice is known for boosting energy levels, boosting mobility, is an anti-inflammatory, is linked to lowering the risk of heart disease & cancer and is high in antioxidants! Truly a super food spice indeed!
​
The main health benefit is curcumin but it's poorly absorbed into the body's bloodstream. A supplement that contains Bioperine helps to enhance the absorption of nutrients by 30% or more. Adding a supplement may help boost your immunity.

Budget Tips
​
​
To save some money when purchasing tofu buy it in bulk or on sale and freeze the extra product you don't need right away. Tofu freezes well and there a 100's of other recipes were you can use tofu.
​
Purchasing turmeric in the bulk section of a grocery store typically reduces your cost by 20-30% when compared to buying a branded spice in a jar.
