Here we want to give some general notes about the best Indian spices with particular attention to organic turmeric powder, its properties, and its uses so that you can become a lover of Indian spices.
General notes and a bit of history
It is impossible to think of the Indian continent without feeling the delightful smells of Indian spices. The combination of India and herbs is indissoluble, just like the presence of the characteristic aromas of cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, or curry as you stroll through the little stores of Indian bazaars. It is said that the colonizers reached the coasts of the Indian continent, just recalled by the smell of Indian spices that spread all over the ocean. Indian spices are the basis of Indian cuisine. They are widely known for their healing properties through Ayurveda, a medicine considered in the West "unconventional." Still, in India, it has a much more important value than traditional therapy. The basis of this medicine, in which Indian spices are widely used, is the awareness that it is possible to live longer through a specific lifestyle and an adequate diet.
Organic turmeric powder is a spice made from an increasingly popular Indian root and used worldwide, not only because it is an excellent ingredient in cooking but also because of its many benefits. In ancient times it was known as the saffron of the Indies for its intense ochre color and was used in traditional Middle Eastern and Asian recipes as a colorant and medicine. Indian doctors used the spice to remedy inflammation, digestive and liver problems, wounds, and skin diseases. Modern medicine is confirming these properties of turmeric and is also discovering others.
Now we will give you some historical hints about the turmeric that today populates recipes worldwide. Man has known and used the properties of turmeric since ancient times. The Assyrians used it as a natural dye for fabrics, while the Indians used it to give flavor to recipes. It was introduced in Europe by the Arab people, famous for the commercialization of spices. Until the arrival of Marco Polo (who described it in his Milione), its use was only culinary.
Since then, many people have been interested in the turmeric root, taking advantage of its properties and benefits.
Curcumin has only one problem, bio-availability, which is the number of nutrients that our body can absorb. By itself, the curcumin present in turmeric has low bioavailability and must be associated with other substances to be effective. In this case, traditions come to our aid: in the recipes of Indian cuisine, turmeric often appears with other spices such as curry and black pepper, both useful to promote the absorption of curcumin from our body. Think of the traditional lentil soup, tandoori chicken, or spicy mango sauce, Amm Ki Chutney.
Among the many turmeric properties, there are two certainly valid and easily verifiable at home: it is perfect for a skin peeling of face and body. Above all, it is excellent as an ingredient in the kitchen. A pinch will be enough to flavor various dishes and give a touch of exoticism to the most straightforward recipes, such as chicken strips, a velvety pumpkin and chickpea soup, vegetable omelets, or simple basmati rice with zucchini. In spring, fresh peas are excellent if perfumed with ginger, turmeric, and coriander. Finally, Dum Aloo is perfect for those who love vegetarian Indian cuisine, a dish based on spicy potatoes with turmeric & tomato sauce.
