Once on tour had lunch at one small lunch home at 'Gandhinagar' Ahmedabad.
As salad they served some dark orange color pieces....Thinking as they are carrot I had them...but taste was different...and I found that they were pieces of haldi rhizomes...
In Gujarat it seems its common practice. May be other members will know more about that.
As I was searching remedy for fatty liver...found that turmeric is very effective on liver problems...( remember pharma efforts for patents of turmeric).
It is said...turmeric has got beneficial effect on lipid profile...(especially triglyceride lowering effect).
If a diabetic could lower his triglyceride level without sacrificing on HDL...his IR will be reduced.
At present in pune turmeric rhizomes are available.After june they will sprout.
For last one month I am having them for lunch and dinner.By my next lipid profile I will be able to tell the results.
This variety is curcuma longa.Today got curcuma amda(ambe halad) which is said more powerful than longa.Which I will be using next 2 weeks.
How much will curcumin lower your triglyceride levels? In a clinical trial in India, taking just 500 mg of curcumin per day lowered triglycerides an average of 33%. It also lowered LDL cholesterol an average of 11%. Both lipid levels fell precipitously due to the fact that some of the excess triglycerides are converted into cholesterol.
has any one used this??? any experiences???

It's routine item which all gujaraties eat. A seasonal item sold everywhere in season. 2 Varieties. Yellow and white.
We put them in salt water in which lemon juice is added. Raw has a unpalatable taste but when soaked in light salt water for 2-3 days the taste becomes good. Very healthy. I take plenty twice in a day as salad. Marwaries make vegetable with it adding lots of pure ghee. Very healthy.
@suramo...amba hardaer means mango haldi Am I right (My wife familiar with Gujrati culture and language )...it smells like mango ...as cure said i got the same, thinking it is ginger ... made tea with that and later threw away all tea when it started smelling like mango
i never heard anybody getting adverse effect of fresh turmeric.
Turmeric powder with chune which we use in paan and alum - fitkari can be used on blunt external injuries.
Turmaric also used with warm milk esp for blunt injuries in addition to many other uses. I take such warm turmeric milk with one tsf cow ghee and now also add two tsf vco. Such milk if given to small children is very beneficial. Said to strengthen bones.
Yes. You have to peel cut and wash thoroughly before putting into salt and lemon solution
Turmeric is useful both externally and internally.
If I use a lot of turmeric during summers...I get a lot of sweating ...turmeric is excellent antibiotic/anti inflammatory ...so used for all internal and external cuts/ and injuries and inflammation like RA or colitis
Fitkari=alum= tawas in Tagalog= Turati in Marathi is astringent .best remedy to stop bleeding.
Turmeric is very good antibiotic.
So using this both will sure help healing wound.
My grand ma use to apply turmeric+fitkari+ sambar shing/horn of antelop+ambe halad+ red sandal wood on twisted hand or leg....this will help to reduce swelling and internal injury.
yes. There can be many combinations region vise but turmaric mixture should be applied warm. Injured war soldiers were given hot milk with turmeric to soothe the wound pain. A very good wound healer also
ok...so u r gujju...right? I am also Gujarati Bania from Vadodara. We eat this you talk about green raw haldi and amba halder during winter season when it is available locally...
Gujratis use it as pickle...its kacchi haldi ...it is very strong...one of my friend from Delhi used the same and she got blisters around her lips ...its said to be creating a lot of heat in body ...in case you are not habitual of eating it ...use carefully...take care for not getting another unknown side effects
we are talking of fresh haldi straight from farm. You can make pickle of multi veg like carrot, garmar, haldi etc. Also you can keep haldi in salt and lemon water after peeling and cutting. This is to improve taste. You can add haldi, carrot in mango pickles also.
