It dissolves well in whole warm milk; quite tasty in fact. I usually mix with a touch of coffee for a relaxing beverage in the winter.
My doc says that to derive any benefit from turmeric, I must eat massive amounts, as most never gets into the system, and there is only a tiny amount of the active ingredient in it.
I have read that there are no recorded instances of turmeric overdose, ever.
Circumin pills: relatively expensive.
Raw Turmeric: not expensive at all.
I have given up on making it palatable. Now I see it as a test of my mettle and discipline. I ever make it through an entire glass - too yucky!
But then again, I am ingesting massive amounts.
