Yesterday I posted a recipe with Turmeric, the cauliflower curry. I am constantly looking for ways to use this spice in my cooking. In recent years I have read and been told lots about the positive health attributes of this spice and I wanted to share this with you. Today I read this article and I thought that it would be a nice introduction to the spice for those of you perhaps not already aware of this:

I have to add, that this is a spice that I can not find in Dutch supermarkets, please let me know if you can. I get mine in the international stores, on the lovely spice shop on the Albert Cuyp market.
Kim, turmeric is available in most Dutch supermarkets, including the ubiquitous Albert Heijn. At AH, you'll find it in the Indonesian section; the brand they carry is Cominex as I remember. Turmeric is kurkuma; it also says (I think) geelworltel in tiny letters.
ReplyDeleteThe Indonesian name is koenjit, I just realized.
ReplyDeletethanks, only seeing this now and we live in the States at present - but good to know and readily available here and I still love to cook with it.
