Nutritional Benefits

Turmeric gets its pungent yellow colour from curcumin, and is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Hot chilli pepper contains capsaicin, which is a natural pain reliever and also helps reduce blood cholesterol. Cumin aids in digestion by stimulation enzymes, which enable nutrients from our food to be better assimilated.
