You can experiment by adding it to vegetables along with your traditional spices. It is absolutely delicious over cauliflower with some garlic salt, pepper and paprika.

I’m one of those people who loves turmeric for its benefits but not for its taste… never thought of taking a supplement, thanks for the tip girl!

Hey Sasha, thank you so much for dropping by! I know for some people turmeric can have a strange taste at the beginning, but if you don’t like it indeed there are other possibilities. My mom takes a daily turmeric supplement, too!

I try and plan meals where I can add turmeric. But it will not suit most dishes so I also keep a bottle of turmeric supplements at hand.
