Turmeric: the "Super Health" Food

9/15/2017

If you have ever eaten curry, you are most likely familiar with turmeric. It is a key ingredient for the base of many different kinds of curry.

Turmeric has long been treasured not only for it's unique flavor, but for it's health benefits as well.

Ayurvedic medicine has used turmeric for a very long time, with entire medical books written about it's many health benefits.  It can help lower blood pressure, ease arthritis, fend off Alzheimer's disease, and reduce inflammation. It can be infused as a tea, grated and added to recipes, or heated up with coconut oil to increase it's healing benefits. Some people even take turmeric in a capsule directly by mouth.

Growing your own Turmeric can be tricky and takes some patience, but the results are beautiful flowers and a very useful root. Turmeric can be found at your local farmer's market, too.

   People across the world are choosing to turn their outdoor living spaces into productive gardens to feed themselves and their families. Let's grow some groceries!

      Raised garden beds are a popular choice for those wanting a designated growing space for their produce. Styles can range from very simple to more extravagant, multi-tiered structures.


 
   Edible garden options go beyond fruit trees. Herbs are a great option to add a touch of fragrance and purpose to small spaces. Creeping herbs such as mint and thyme can also be used to fill in areas between plants.

   Add in some flowers for a pop of color and you have a winning combination.
