Turmeric makes a great addition to some mid afternoon snacks, such as these turmeric and Matcha Green Tea bliss balls. The earthy turmeric is balanced by the lemon and ginger, and there is a natural sweetness from the coconut and dates too. They go perfectly with a golden turmeric tea! Erin Young, health writer & founder of Zen Green Tea, looks at how we can easily introduce it into our recipes.
Turmeric has quickly risen to being one of the most popular superfoods amongst older Australians, all because of its high content of the antioxidant, curcumin. Curcumin is an active ingredient, known for it’s anti-inflammatory qualities which can help fight against many chronic diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
