Just as effective in the cabinet as in food.

Only thing I can think of I’ve used turmeric for was in recreating the Uncle Ben’s wild rice seasoning mix. Turns out that’s also dang good on roasted potatoes and cauliflower.
Always, always, always a super fresh baguette to dip in the butter/garlic.

Another late addition… Whenever Kara and I make scallops, we’ll also fry up some bacon, then sautee kale and white beans (canned are fine) in the rendered fat with diced onion and garlic, then finish it all off with some red pepper flakes.

Yep. It turns food yellow, but if that food then touches any surface said surface becomes green. Permanently green if you don’t wipe it off within a fews seconds.
You realize that “kale” is just a fancy-pantz way of saying “collard greens”, right?
I’ve never seen turmeric turn anything any color other than yellow-orange.
Tell that to my white countertops.
One, shame on you for having white countertops. Two, you’re a messy cook. Which is good to see. Keep the turmeric in the bowl is probably the best advice.
On a side note…while there are anecdotal claims of turmeric being good for blood pressure, digestion, erectile disfunction, etc…I don’t know how much actual scientific evidence there is to support that, not stemming from the benefits associated with the mostly plant-based foods typically prepared with turmeric.
You may well be right. Unfortunately, “turmeric for everything” will be official DHHS policy come January.
Perhaps bleach is good for something other than preventing COVID?

And I’m ok with that.
Similar but not the same plant
They’re different cultivars of the species of plant.
I love collards but cannot abide kale. I can’t explain it.
As are cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi. All the same species.
Brussels sprouts are one of Mrs. Hawk’s favorite foods. She’s nuts about them and inexplicably often refers to them as “tater tots”. I never much cared for them growing up (though I love collard greens, and all manner of other leafy vegetables), but now I really like them. They are one of those things that I hated as a kid but have really come to like as an adult. Still not a big fan of broccoli.
I love them too.
Brussels sprouts are good.
Tater tots are good
Brussels sprouts are not tater tots.
