This week's ingredient is Tumeric!
What is Tumeric:
- It is a significant ingredient in most commercial curry powders. Turmeric is also used to give a yellow color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broth, and other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron).
- It is taken in some Asian countries as a dietary supplement, which allegedly helps with stomach problems and other ailments.
- Turmeric is currently used in the formulation of some sun screens
- Turmeric is coded as E100 when used as a food additive.
- Turmeric has found application in canned beverages, baked products, dairy products, ice cream, yogurts, yellow cakes, biscuits, popcorn-colour, sweets, cake icings, cereals, sauces, gelatines, direct compression tablets, etc. In combination with Annatto (E160b) it has been used to colour cheeses, dry mixes, salad dressings, winter butter and margarine.
Basically, it's used as medicine, cosmetics and as a dye. So the question is: How are you going to dye your entry yellow?!
I just realised I hadn't posted the info yet!
