You've probably heard that the curcumin in turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and is a natural pain reliever. To enjoy some of these benefits, throw out the stale, ground turmeric in your spice cabinet and purchase fresh turmeric. Peel and cut or grate the turmeric before adding it to your favorite salads, grains, or smoothies. You can even grate and juice it for a bright, nutritious start to your day.
