Turmeric might as well be known as a super spice. Not only does it have an amazing taste and smell, this golden spice also has an incredible list of health benefits. Turmeric has antiviral properties, making it a great aid when healing wounds and cuts. This spice has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and helps patients with arthritis and other similar issues. 

Turmeric has also demonstrated the ability to help lower cholesterol which leads to a healthier heart. The list of health benefits continues with liver protection, digestive help and more. To help make this spice more palatable, here are seven ways to prepare turmeric. 
 

One of the tastiest ways to prepare turmeric is in a soup. All you need is vegetable or bone broth and some chopped turmeric. Begin by boiling water and then adding in the spice and broth. After simmering for 10-15 minutes strain the mixture and enjoy. You can add extra vegetables or beans to add to the consistency and flavor. 

This is a great option for those who love snacking. You'll need green plantains, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander and some sea salt. Start by peeling the plantains and cutting off the tops. Continue by slicing the plantains into a larger bowl and covering them in red palm oil. 

The other spices should be mixed separately and then sprinkled on top of the plantain slices. Next, place each slice onto a baking sheet evenly spread out. Put the sheet into the oven for around 30 minutes. Don't forget to rotate in between.

A turmeric smoothie is a good option for those in a hurry or prefer something easy to make. While there are a decent amount of ingredients, the preparation is incredibly fast. You'll need some milk, frozen pineapple or mango, coconut flakes and maca root.

 A bit of black pepper can be added based on personal choice. Powdered or fresh turmeric can be used in this smoothie. Once all the ingredients are in the blender, press the button and just wait. Your delicious turmeric smoothie will be ready in no time. Don't forget the lid! 

Because turmeric has a naturally bitter taste, adding some natural sugar to the mixture can make this spice more palatable. Making a juice out of turmeric is a great way to accomplish this. First, decide what kind of fruit to use. Citrus fruits will be the easiest to make a juice from. Lemons are always a good option. Once you have squeezed out the juice, add some sea salt and then powdered turmeric. 

This is another method for preparing turmeric in a liquid form. For this recipe you'll need a bit of cinnamon, clove and cardamom. Start by adding a cup of milk and a bit of water into a container. Start mixing as you add some raw honey, garlic powder and finally turmeric. The other ingredients can then be added. Continue to stir until the solution is properly mixed. Let it sit for a few minutes and then enjoy. 

Fortunately, you don't always have to prepare whole meals and recipes around consuming turmeric. This diverse spice can easily be added to everyday meals to make things much easier. For example, you can throw in some powdered or raw turmeric to scrambled eggs in the morning. The taste is great and healthy. 

Tea is another liquid option for preparing turmeric. Simply boil some water and add the fresh turmeric. Strain the water after the mixture has simmered for about five minutes. You can add some extra flavor from a lime if the spice is too strong.
