Turmeric chocolate rings
Today it's going to be very colorful on the cookie plate, but of course also delicious.You can already imagine where the great golden color comes from: Turmeric!
The superfood turmeric
Turmeric resembles a ginger root on the outside. However, an intense yellow color is hidden under the skin. This is why the root is not only used as a spice, but also as a natural colorant. The tuber originated in South East Asia and its consumption was already recorded in documents dating back to the 7th century. In some cultures, turmeric was even considered a sacred plant.
Here in Germany, the yellow tuber has only recently been experiencing a great deal of hype. In Ayuverdic medicine, however, the spice has enjoyed great popularity for thousands of years. There are now numerous serving and recipe suggestions with turmeric - and we have one right here:
