Turmeric Paste, Maximum Absorption with Black Pepper & Coconut Oil | Cancer Fighting & Joint Helper
It’s a amazing spice & I make sure to have some every day. Golden milk is a great way to take this paste. Basically use the milk of your choice, just enough honey to make it palatable to you. I like blending it with some cardamom. You can put some almond oil in, but only after you heat it up. Add the oil after. It’s also easy to mix into a smoothie or protein drink.
Turmeric contains curcumin, the polyphenol identified as its primary active component and which exhibits over 150 potentially therapeutic activities, which include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Additional turmeric health benefits:
Anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antiseptic, analgesic.

Adding black pepper to turmeric or turmeric-spiced food enhances curcumin’s bioavailability, due to black pepper’s hot property called piperine. Yup, by mixing turmeric and black pepper together, you increase your body’s absorption of the turmeric by 2000%!
In the recipe the oil is essential because Turmeric is fat/oil soluble. Meaning your body will absorb it easily if combined with a healthy fat such as coconut oil. Cooking with oil makes the curcumin in the turmeric bioavailable so that the body can use it for healing as opposed simply being metabolized.
