Turmeric

Turmeric

Turmeric is not a well know spice here in the states.  It is a South Asian spice usually used in Indian recipes.  Some of the benefits of Turmeric besides is unique taste have been linked to healthy teeth and the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.  I like to heat this spice on an iron skillet before adding it to my favorite barbeque dry rub recipes.  Turmeric complements chicken very well.
