Growing up in India, I’ve been aware from an early age of how highly regarded turmeric is for its antimicrobial properties, in culinary as well as medicinal usage. Now, it’s the latest golden oldie, a trendy superfood on top of the pop charts!
Turmeric in fresh and dried form, has been lighting up foodscapes, (most notably in the “golden milk” craze) and pharmacy shelves alike. I use turmeric in my daily cooking as a matter of routine, so I haven’t really been pushed to seek out novel ways to incorporate it into my diet. I was, however, delighted to discover a delicious new take on it in the form of “candied turmeric”.
