As we learned the history of the spices in our last article, we understand that spices have been essential to both our history and health.

We’ll explore the health benefits of certain spices we offer and how they align with current wellness trends, especially for a plant-based lifestyle.

The Healing Powers of Spices:

• Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is a cornerstone in wellness diets. It contains curcumin, a compound that has been linked to reduced inflammation in the body, making it a popular choice for those seeking natural remedies for joint pain and arthritis.

Think of a vibrant Golden Turmeric Lentil Soup. This dish not only highlights turmeric’s earthy flavor but also utilizes its anti-inflammatory properties to create a comforting, healing bowl of goodness.
