Turmeric is pretty much the most powerful herb on the planet. It is filled with anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-bacterial properties, benefiting your digestion, immune system, heart and brain.
Turmeric is popular in Indian dishes. But what if you don’t feel like Indian food or anything Asian tonight? There is good news for you!
Using turmeric, you can create a fun twist with a popular and very much loved Middle Eastern food: hummus!
Hummus is life, some may say.
