Should you have it as the root? Should you have it as the whole food in a smoothie? I would say to diversify even how you use turmeric. Use it as the root, as the whole food form.

And I like it with the skin on so that I'm getting those additional phytochemicals and fiber. And I also like it as a spice. It's pretty concentrated in the curcuminoid family. It is, I would say, the most well-studied spice. I don't know why that is. It doesn't mean that the others are insignificant.

But I think because there's been interest in looking at cultures that live the longest, and India has... definitely held that longevity status for some time. So I think that there was speculation, is it because of the turmeric? And you're going to find turmeric in curry powder.

And what's really interesting, because I love diversity and bringing in the blends, which are oftentimes complimentary in their activity, curry powder tends to have about five different spices. but I have found one at the store. I actually read the label because I want the most amount in my curry powder. So I have found one with turmeric, of course, but then 11 total spices in my curry powder.
