Thank you. Really good point here. I have learned this before but forgot to mention it. Pinned this comment so hopefully people see it. Thanks for the contribution.
Also, those with gallstones, even asymptomatic ones, should avoid effective doses since turmeric stimulates bile production and causes the gallbladder to contract, which in turn can cause stones to move into the bile ducts resulting in blockages. I’ve never had symptoms, but I learned I had gallstones when I had a sonogram. Many people have them and don’t know.
I have reversed my crippling spinal arthritis with a whole food plant based diet and turmeric is one of the things that helped a fair bit! Tumeric FTW! 😁#plantpower #vegan4life 🍎🥦🙏🏼
Simnett Nutrition It’s amazing isn’t it?! I love to share and it’s made my life a thousand times better! Your channel was one that took me from WFPB to full vegan. Bless up brother! 🙏🏼😄
Mine is much better, but not gone. Huge reduction in medications, however. My husband has reversed his diabetes and severe kidney failure. Kidney function is now normal and his blood pressure finally controlled on minimal medication.
@@CompostWatcher I wish mine were, but crooked bones don't change and I can't get rid of my plantar warts. I'm going to have to go to my podiatrist. My overall joint pain and health are very much improved, so no real complaints.
You are so right, I actually consume turmeric everyday and my immune system is sooo strong 💪🏾 plus I’m holistic so I eat healthy everyday! Thank you for the awesome video!
@Dolly Madeson vegetarian is always great And vegan is also great but in it people do need to take care of few things like they gwt all nutrients And super big thing We are herbivours We eat meat for survival problem I guess brother you should watch sadhguru videoo on food I aint vegetarian cause of morality but because of basic understanding that humans are herbivours
@@leongyet9896 Grate it, put in a cup and add hot water and black pepper, a splash of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoonful full of syrup or honey. Let it brew for a few minutes then strain and drink. Have it every day and see what happens.
I have bad arthritis and found a smoothie recipe on Jill’s WFPB Cooking Show channel. It helps so much, and I notice if I miss a day. Also super-simple. 1/2 C plant milk, 1/2 C frozen cherries, 1/2 C pineapple, chunk of fresh turmeric and fresh ginger with skin on. So yummy and simple and makes my hands very manageable.
When I started making golden milk, I added mango juice for sweetness. Then when I could not find the juice I normally get, I tried apple juice and added cinnamon-I didn’t think it would be good, but it was! I still like mango the best, but adding a bit of juice made it something to really look forward to -a nice, hot relaxing bedtime beverage. Yummy!
Because of this food series i started incorporating waaay more oates & kale this year into my plant based diet! Thanks as always Derrick much love from Australia!
I just started buying fresh turmeric. I LOVE the taste! To me it tastes a bit like fresh pine. So delicious in smoothies. I wish I had started using turmeric years ago. ❤❤❤
I loved this video. I just bought 400g of Turmeric powder today from my local Indian supermarket. When I heard your comments about lead I wrote to the supplier right away (who are based in the UK). Let's see what they come back with! As for the rest, very informative - thank you!
I sooooooo love that you explained about the lead used for both weight and color ! ! ! ! It's one thing to just know that it's there, but understanding why they do it makes it stick to my memory better.
I had feet and bottom leg pains at coming at night when I led on my bed I've used this for 2 weeks capsules mixed in with ginger and pepper pains have practically gone 👍👍👍
i recommend that you peel turmeric and ginger when making golden milk. Also the traditional recipe calls for cardamom and cloves. since both of these spices are nutritional powerhouses too, i would not skip them.
Great to have added in dishes especially if you’re diabetic and have arthritis. I’m 37 and I always have turmeric in my dishes and I have a lot less pain !
My favourite breakfast I eat every day is tofu scramble with turmeric, kala namak, onions and vegetables. I also add it to a warm soy vanilla milk with maple syrup, best winter drink.
a couple things I want to share since I recently started regularly adding turmeric to my food every day. I had been experiencing considerable vision loss with one of my eyes for a year or so. immediately after starting eating turmeric, that vision loss reversed and now my vision in both eyes is the best it has been in years (I am 53). Although granted, it is not perfect vision, but it is the best it has been in years. And I have discovered it is create in my hot cocoa, A few dashes of turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon and topped with some (vegan) marshmallows and it is super yum.
How about ginger, cloves and thym. O would enjoy a food series about them. I usually use them for cooking and to cure the flue. Can't wait and so grateful for your vids
OMGOODNESS 🙌🏻 this is the best Turmeric and Ginger milk I have ever tasted . I added 1 tsp Cinnamon a 1/2 tsp of coconut oil. I also peeled the rind of a lemon and put it in the mix ! but removed the rind before serving, the lemon rind must be carefully peeled so you don’t get the pith which is around the lemon, which is bitter. I loved your idea of sweetening with Majhol dates it makes it very tasty, I used unsweetened Almond milk. Thku Derek
The moment I got a turmeric craving out of no where for no seeming reason and knowing nothing about it this video pops up after I buy some! Thank you! I love you!
When making the drink I will. Use some local honey. Or add sprinkle top with nutmeg to mak even more refreshing another thing like to do is grate some fresh ginger to mixture.
Mike Adams (Health Ranger) sells lead tested turmeric powder. He’s a scientist with a certified lab. He test for heavy metals in all of the products he sells. He also has chlorella that’s lab tested.
Jaded Optimist , I also grow my own Turmeric and ginger in pots but have the powder for convenience. Didn’t realize Mike Adams sold Big Berkey. That’s great! Only probably is he doesn’t like to ship to Hawaii so I have to have things shipped to my daughter then she sends it to me. I order from Global Healing Center too with free shipping straight to Hawaii. 🌴 ☀️
CuriousGeorge, One would think and hope that but not always a given. Mike Adams (Health Ranger) does random testings of well known products sold at Whole Foods and other places. It was surprising what turned up.
I mix cinnamon and turmeric with some black pepper and encapsulate it (you can buy empty capsules and an encapsulator on amazon). I take it primarily take it for diabetic blood sugar control but the added bonus was reduction of osteoarthritis and hip bursitis pain. If I don’t take at 2 capsules a day my arthritis pain flares up.
Hello from Ottawa, love your channel, such great info and light hearted 😊 when I find nice organic turmeric I wash it and dry it and then freeze it in an air tight container and when I want fresh I take it out and grate it on my double bladed hand grater sorry I don’t know what to call it 😬 It grates like powder and blends into anything I cook, the trick is to grate it frozen, I do the same thing with ginger. Also for people that like a bit softer and creamier tofu scramble I add some of my plant based milk to the pan after I have fried it to my liking and then keep cooking until you reach your desired consistency, just an option. Thank you for all of your videos they are awesome ! Keep ‘em comin ! 😊
Great Job! Will be adding pepper, coconut oil and some nuts to my daily smoothie. Besides those four ingredients I my smoothie includes a beet cut, half a karela and some yogurt, salt and apple cider vinegar. Its a bitter taste, but a powerful combo to get the day started. I drink this smoothie every other day. On alternate days I simply drink 16 OZ of celery juice (nothing added). This way it is not too taxing on my system and the variety is fun!
You’re so funny 😂😂😂 and I love the content of your videos, so important for people, you are actually my main guide in transitioning into plant based eating. Thank you for your help and contribution to healthier people in this world ❤️
After reading How Not to Die, I started added daily turmeric to my diet. I’ve recently found a turmeric black pepper tea that I super good. I had no idea idea about the lead, so I’m going to start using the fresh! Thanks, Derek!
Hi Derek, One suggestion: I add stevia to my golden tea and to most of my smoothies as well. I have probably more of a sweet tooth than most people, and stevia makes it so much easier to maintain my healthy life style. Perhaps something to introduce to your viewers? I for sure could not do without it.
We Indians using the turmeric since BC.. Even lots of overseas business has happened in very olden days, say from the sea route discovered. Thanks for this video in enlighten the power of Ancient Indian medicine.
Yes, that would be my plan. That way you can get the staining and work out of the way all at once. I’ve seen a video that suggested grating a bunch at once and freezing it.
I have always been in great shape. Diagnosed with osteoarthritis and my life been going down Hill. I am going to try it . I let you know how it works . Thank you 🙏
Better yet, grow your own! It's tropical, grows like ginger! I'm in zone 7, and just this spring I transplanted both from pots to a raised bed. I'll still need to bring them in before freeze, divide & conquer and replant in the spring. I'm on eliquis, however I'm also taking a gram or two of tumeric on days when my back flares. It may not be the best thing to do, but at the moment it's the best pain reliever I have.🤔
Love this! I didn’t know all the other benefits of turmeric other than it’s anti-inflammatory! I put in in my dog’s homemade food to help prevent them from getting arthritis :)
Your channel is the best vegan channel I've seen. The info about curcumin stimulating the enzyme that converts ALA into DHA is ESSENTIAL. DHA omega-3 fatty acids lower triglycerides, and for this reason, a higher omega-3 to omega-6 ratio can completely prevent heart disease. That can be difficult to achieve on a vegan diet because of the omega-6 rich foods commonly consumed. DHA also plays an important role in the production of dopamine, which is a plus.
Hi i grate tumeric ginger and garlic, mix together and add black pepper, pinch cayenne pepper and grated lemon zest then put it all in a jar and mix in raw honey and store in fridge. I didnt know about taking it with fat so i will try mixing a little olive oil into it as well.
To detect the presence of lead chromate, mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with water. If adulterated, it will immediately leak streaks of water-soluble colour. One of the easiest ways to check adulteration is to add a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of warm water. Do not stir it and leave it still for a while. Check after about 20 minutes. If the powder settles down at the bottom of the glass with clear water above, the turmeric is pure. Cloudy water indicates possible adulteration.
If you brew kombucha, try adding thinly-sliced or grated fresh turmeric to your secondary ferment. Even better with an equal part ginger. End result is a beautiful golden 'buch with champagne-like carbonation. I usually do 1TBS each ginger and turmeric per half gallon.
Also you seem super duper informed and turmeric is the only supervisor I actually believe in, can you tell me if there's a difference between the amount of curcumin and nutrition between fresh and powder
Even though I haven't embraced a vegan diet yet most of my meals consist of fresh fruit and veggies; turmeric has helped a lot with inflammation, great to know there are alternatives to the powder version but if you find a reputable source of powdered turmeric please do share. Thanks!
Yes golden milk! Started drinking it about 3 years ago. Helps me sleep. I use the ground turmeric but now the lead issue? Going on the hunt for fresh. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this video, very interesting, just the like the rest of the series 🙏 When researching for it, did you come across any information about nutrient loss after cooking? I often ask myself for all plant ingredients to what degree cooking might destroy the micro nutrients 🤷♀️
People who are easily inflamed and have low cognitive functioning are those most likely to angrily bash the thumbs down button on a video presenting some well informed and well presented information. Ironically their wellbeing could probably improve if they just ate some turmeric.
I love this guy. So fun to watch. I am not vegan, however my son is (22 yrs.old) and it helps me when it comes to preparing a meal or two for him when he comes home to eat. Plus even though I am not vegan All the time, I do prefer to have a few meals a week that are vegan based and his recipes are simple.
Even some whole dried turmeric is contaminated with lead. (I assume to intensify the yellow color.) www.youcefbanouni.com/1993/lead-found-in-turmeric/ You cannot blindly assume that even whole turmeric is low in lead.
I love golden milk especially during cold and flu season when everyone else is getting sick I avoid it by eating a healthy diet and drinking golden milk.
Did you know that there are two types of turmeric? The magic behind turmeric lies in Curcumin, most brands use Madras (which has 3.5%), the high end brands use Alleppey (which has 6.5%). It's also important to use turmeric with a bioactivator (such as black pepper).
I kinda make a drink with tummeric, ginger, lemon juice, vita coconut water/ pineapple for sweetness and Braggs apple cider vinegar. And grounded pepper corn of course. Blend and enjoy.
You have a solid personality and are a good presenter, thanks for the knowledge, also might want to consider incorporating some wild food (especially) greens in your dirt. They're super healthy and free. Thanks again.
Great info, thank you so much. I had no idea about the lead contamination being an issue. I’ve never seen the fresh root but I’m hoping I can find it near me.
I had no idea, either! I’m about halfway through a 2lb bag, because I use it for myself and my dog, and now I’m a little worried. I’ve been researching the company since I watched this video, and they don’t mention anything about lead testing, so I think I’m going to toss the rest. I hate to waste it, but I’m not going to risk poisoning myself and my dog any further. Better safe than sorry.
One way to consume turmeric root is to ........slice it, add salt , add lots of lemon and put all that in a glass jar. Add some pepper corn ( slightly crushed) and a couple of sliced green chilies to add some heat to it. Let it sit for 24 hours.....Viola.......you have turmeric pickle ready to eat along with your meal.......this way you can easily consume 3-4 slices of turmeric every day. 😊🌺🌺
Thanks man. I simply add fresh Turmeric to my fresh vegetable juice, You can't even taste it. However,since I have been juicing it I rarely get headaches. or have any muscular pain. I power walk 8-10 kM's per week. I have zero pain after cooling down. At my age (61), I put this down to the use of fresh turmeric.
I love juicing tumeric and ginger. I keep them in the freezer and just run them under water for 10s before throwing them in the juicer. Love making a shot with a little pineapple and black pepper and a little honey added. Actually really enjoy the flavor and the little "burn" .
Great info! My husband introduced me to this spice and at first I wasn't a huge fan but now I put it in everything! My husband also told me about adding black pepper. I'm shocked to learn about the heavy metal issue and hope I can find fresh turmeric at my local grocery store. Thanks for all the hard work you put into each video and keep up the great content!
One important note is that turmeric should not be taken by those on blood thinners as it thins blood itself.
Thank you. Really good point here. I have learned this before but forgot to mention it. Pinned this comment so hopefully people see it. Thanks for the contribution.
Good to know! Thanks!
just like ginger, better take it at night

Ok that's it. I'll NEVER eat Turmeric. I hear it tastes good on cats??

Apparently it's a major reason why men don't get prostate cancer over there

I sneak tumeric into most meals so my kids will benefit from it. They have no idea why their mashed potatoes are orange 😂
Haha I bet it's fun for them though!
If you mash them w sweet potatoes it probably won’t be so noticeable but still nice idea 💡
Funny! My mom made green scrambled eggs by putting parsley flakes in them. She said they provided iron. We didn't add any ham tho.
Oh my gosh, you made me snort giggle!

I put it in coffee with ginger and cinnamon. Tastes fine to me.
Loving this series!! It’s so much fun that other people get excited over healthy food too 🙌🏻🤣

Ginger is pretty easy to grow. Maybe I’ll try to grow turmeric.
Once you dry it. Put it in a coffee grinder. Clean well first. After watching your video, I’m thinking of adding it to my pepper shaker.
I’ve just started making golden chai. It’s awesome! Did you mention the anti cancer properties of turmeric as well? ✌🏻🌱
Yes golden milk! Started drinking it about 3 years ago. Helps me sleep. I use the ground turmeric but now the lead issue? Going on the hunt for fresh. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this video, very interesting, just the like the rest of the series 🙏
When researching for it, did you come across any information about nutrient loss after cooking? I often ask myself for all plant ingredients to what degree cooking might destroy the micro nutrients 🤷♀️
Always appreciate the enthusiastic way you get the information across, man!
2 people don't like not being inflamed
Up to 5 InfLaMEd bOiS
RIP their souls 🙏🏼
@@eragoncarvahall735 nice still five an hour later
@@epicbottleflips5032 And another hour :-) with five inflamed ones.
only plants cause inflammation
People who are easily inflamed and have low cognitive functioning are those most likely to angrily bash the thumbs down button on a video presenting some well informed and well presented information. Ironically their wellbeing could probably improve if they just ate some turmeric.
I take Turmeric and it's done wonders for my inflammation; knees, lower back etc.
Thanks was needing a golden milk recipe !
It's not amazing, but play around with the recipe and maybe strain it. It's definitely not bad.
Where do you live our organic fresh tumeric is over $14.00 a pound in Mt
So glad you are still doing these videos. I love them!
Wow quite shocked about the heavy metal info... going to look for a “pure” source over here! Some valuable info once again! 🙏🏻 🍀💪🏻👍😎
How about the capsule do they have metal in them
Barbara Smith that’s a good question! I assume that if it doesn’t say explicitly that it DOESNT contain hm, that you can’t know for sure.
Yea that's sad. There is also lead in chocolate.
goku really? Where did you get that info?
@@PLNTR it's not added lead tho. the cacao plants are taking up lead from the soil. the info is well known.
I love this guy. So fun to watch. I am not vegan, however my son is (22 yrs.old) and it helps me when it comes to preparing a meal or two for him when he comes home to eat. Plus even though I am not vegan All the time, I do prefer to have a few meals a week that are vegan based and his recipes are simple.
You can buy whole dried turmeric pieces and then grind them yourself.
Even some whole dried turmeric is contaminated with lead. (I assume to intensify the yellow color.) www.youcefbanouni.com/1993/lead-found-in-turmeric/
You cannot blindly assume that even whole turmeric is low in lead.
Had no idea about the lead.. I've been drinking golden milk for a year now..well now I know to use the root. Thank You much!
I love golden milk especially during cold and flu season when everyone else is getting sick I avoid it by eating a healthy diet and drinking golden milk.
I can't believe this is the first time I've found your channel. Great resource for the upcoming Veganuary!
Did you know that there are two types of turmeric? The magic behind turmeric lies in Curcumin, most brands use Madras (which has 3.5%), the high end brands use Alleppey (which has 6.5%). It's also important to use turmeric with a bioactivator (such as black pepper).
I never add black pepper and I have been using it for years and I have wonderful results without
@@deejeff8846 Could be having even better results with black pepper. It's proven to increase bioavailability by up to 2000%
As much as I use all forms of turmeric I had never heard of the lead issue. Thanks for this information. This was a great video.
Buying fresh turmeric would be nice IF that was possible where I live.
You cabuy it from Amazon, Etsy and sometimes I find it at Kroger.
I kinda make a drink with tummeric, ginger, lemon juice, vita coconut water/ pineapple for sweetness and Braggs apple cider vinegar. And grounded pepper corn of course. Blend and enjoy.
Thanks Derek. I just learned I'm loaded up with heavy metals.
You have a solid personality and are a good presenter, thanks for the knowledge, also might want to consider incorporating some wild food (especially) greens in your dirt. They're super healthy and free. Thanks again.
Great info, thank you so much. I had no idea about the lead contamination being an issue. I’ve never seen the fresh root but I’m hoping I can find it near me.
Yah, I wasn't trying to freak everyone out, but it's certainly an issue.
I had no idea, either! I’m about halfway through a 2lb bag, because I use it for myself and my dog, and now I’m a little worried. I’ve been researching the company since I watched this video, and they don’t mention anything about lead testing, so I think I’m going to toss the rest. I hate to waste it, but I’m not going to risk poisoning myself and my dog any further. Better safe than sorry.
One way to consume turmeric root is to ........slice it, add salt , add lots of lemon and put all that in a glass jar. Add some pepper corn ( slightly crushed) and a couple of sliced green chilies to add some heat to it. Let it sit for 24 hours.....Viola.......you have turmeric pickle ready to eat along with your meal.......this way you can easily consume 3-4 slices of turmeric every day. 😊🌺🌺
OMG, I’ve been using lead filled powder for ages! Crap! Thx for the info!!
Turmeric and black pepper... never knew about this mix for an optimal nutrient digestion. Thank you, Derek, I'll use this tip from now on!
So helpful! Thank you. How do we find out if our powdered organic turmeric is lead free? It’s a brand I’ve trusted for years.
Thanks man. I simply add fresh Turmeric to my fresh vegetable juice, You can't even taste it. However,since I have been juicing it I rarely get headaches. or have any muscular pain. I power walk 8-10 kM's per week. I have zero pain after cooling down. At my age (61), I put this down to the use of fresh turmeric.
Those rotten scoundrels, mixing lead with tumeric.
Yeah . . . I like my Lead pure and unadulterated!
@Janette Davis you are useless
@Janette Davis it's called the Mandela effect it used to be tumeric
I love juicing tumeric and ginger. I keep them in the freezer and just run them under water for 10s before throwing them in the juicer. Love making a shot with a little pineapple and black pepper and a little honey added. Actually really enjoy the flavor and the little "burn" .
Omfg! Even in organic? This makes me so sad. Had no idea. I use SimplyOrganic... I’ll start buying fresh ASAP.
Thank you good stuff
Great info!
My husband introduced me to this spice and at first I wasn't a huge fan but now I put it in everything! My husband also told me about adding black pepper. I'm shocked to learn about the heavy metal issue and hope I can find fresh turmeric at my local grocery store. Thanks for all the hard work you put into each video and keep up the great content!
