just what I wanted , I use it to make Golden Paste, as Turmeric should be used with FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER to be effective and preferrably heated to get optimum benefits.Turmeric does not stay in the body past several hours (it varies according to individual – 6-8 hours approx) so you are best off to have small doses often throughout the day. Too large a dose of turmeric will not be utilised – what the body can’t use it will eliminate.

Recipe by Dr Doug English to follow : GOLDEN PASTE
1/2 cup turmeric powder (125 mls)
1 cup water (250 mls), and 1 cup in reserve if needed
1/3 cup (70 mls) cold pressed Olive or Coconut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper (one and a half)

Place turmeric and water in pan, stirring over gentle heat until you have a thick paste. This should take about 7 – 10 minutes and you will need to add additional water along the way. Add the pepper and oil at the end of cooking. Stir well (a whisk is ideal) and allow to cool. Store in sterilised glass jar and refrigerate. Will keep for up to four weeks, refrigerated – best used within two. Use for Golden Milk, Smoothies, stir into Yoghurt … add to your dinner plate as a condiment.
