You probably know turmeric. This golden root that gives curry blends their bright yellow color and has conquered our kitchens as "golden milk."
In traditional Indian herbal medicine, the "little sister of ginger" is even revered as sacred. But here’s the problem: conventional curcumin is water-insoluble and poorly absorbed by the body. Most people thus miss out on the true power of this extraordinary root.
The solution? Fermentation. Through this ancient, natural process, already powerful turmeric becomes a true superfood.
What is fermented turmeric and why is it so much better?
Fermentation is an ancient, natural process in which microorganisms convert complex molecules into simpler, more usable compounds. What happens to turmeric during this process is nothing short of revolutionary.
While conventional curcumin is difficult for the body to absorb, fermentation transforms the ingredients into highly bioavailable forms.
These can be up to 100 times better utilized by our body than regular turmeric extracts.
Imagine: Instead of using only a fraction of the valuable ingredients, your body can suddenly tap into the full potential of this healing root.
But that’s not all. The fermentation process breaks down complex molecules and makes them accessible to our digestive tract. At the same time, valuable probiotics are created that support your gut health and lay the foundation for a strong immune system.
Compared to regular turmeric, fermented turmeric is often superior because it not only improves absorption but also develops additional health-promoting properties through fermentation.
Don’t be confused by the color. Due to the long fermentation, our turmeric naturally turns brown to black again.
