Raw turmeric | Kachhi haldi | Hasi arishinada beru |
The studies says that the pungent bitter root – turmeric has an amazing health benefits for our body and brain. Of late I have started using raw turmeric in my daily food preparations by replacing the turmeric powder.
Though I have never used any branded turmeric powder for food preparation, it always has been natural/original/organic only, but still now I have started using it in it’s raw form.
Everyday I use 1&1/2 tsp of grated raw turmeric in my overall food preparation, per day for 3 people. Apart from the health benefits it also gives a very good, natural color to the food we prepare.
The turmeric contains compounds with medicinal properties and these compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. They say curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric which is a very strong antioxidant.
There are many articles in the net which says about it, you can browse through to know the innumerable health benefits of using raw turmeric. The one I referred is –https://www.livestrong.com/article/135303-the-benefits-raw-turmeric/
