Turmeric’s root-like underground stems have a pungent orange flesh that can be used either fresh or dried. Turmeric is very trendy as of lately but don’t forget to take your turmeric together with black pepper. Turmeric and black pepper each have health benefits, due to the compounds curcumin (turmeric) and piperine (black pepper).
