Tumeric is the ingredient which makes curry yellow. But tumeric itself does not have a strong flavor. I eat a lot of pinto beans, black beans, red beans, Anasazi beans and the like...So when I serve up my beans, along with the other stuff ...chives, tomatoes, greens or whatever vegetables or herbs, plus olive oil and salt, I pile on a half teaspoon of tumeric. I do not cook the olive oil, salt or tumeric into the beans, but add it when serving. Heat destroys the medicinal properties of tumeric. You can sprinkle tumeric on toast, on your eggs, on whatever, just do not cook it into the food. The more you consume, the better results. I consume about 5 teaspoons per week. And I am a walking medical miracle. I think it is also good for dogs, do not know about horses.

Thank you for answering my question. I hear it talked about on the late show on the radio. I used it for pickles years ago. Anyway, I do intend to start eating more beans (canned, I hate to cook pinto beans) because I need the fiber. I like the pinto beans with the mild green Mexican peppers in them; I will eat black beans, butter beans, lima beans. Don't know about the others you mentioned.

I'll have to figure out what I can use tumeric on. I just got done with very late breakfast. I saw this YT video where this guy make a chicken salad sandwich which I might adapt to oven cooking. Anyway, when he got to the bread, he sprinkled olive oil on some diagonally sliced sourdough and very lightly toasted it in a 450F oven.

So I had a nice small loaf of plain Italian bread and tried it. I need another glass bottle with that squirt thingie as I just tried to scatter some olive oil out of the bottle which make it a little more dense. Well it toasted just like his but on both sides. His only toasted on one side so I wrote a comment and asked and hope he will answer me.

Then I don't know what got into me but I saw another video where they rubbed garlic on bread. So I peeled some garlic and that's what I did. It worked well to just rub it on the toasted bread. I can't eat it raw but would if it were roasted.

So thank you and I'll do some more research on it, maybe read some testimonials. Heaven knows my general health could use a boost. Now I want some coke or pepsi, have taken to buying it at the gas station or McD's as it tastes better if they get the syrup mixed right.
