Turmeric is so awesome, and to know the right way to consume it is also so important.

Being an Indian, we have been using spices for like ever in our cooking. But my learning from this podcast is to hunt for true cinnamon rather than the regular one. This was a 30 minutes well-spent!

9:17-9:30: My gateway into exploring spices started with my favorite spicy sausage: what's in here? How much of the spice did they use? From there, I began to wonder about other foods I appreciated and what their spice components were. In 2015, I discovered a wonderful local spice shop (shoutout to Oaktown Spice Shop!), and I haven't looked back. A “good” spice shop is a great place to experience new spices and learn from knowledgeable staff. They share recipes and spice blends that allow you to explore the wonderful world of spices😀

At the beginning she said "... Talks at Google." That's quiet impressive.

[@DashingPartyCrasher]

Being quietly impressive is also quite impressive.

I have never been healthier after switching to a whole food plant-based diet.
