I had no idea that was the natural form.

I've been using it in stir fries. I found a mango smoothie recipe with turmeric root. Haven't made it yet.



*EDIT* I just read his overview on nutrition and sounds good, a lot like the other gurus I've been reading. Dr. Mark Hyman is big on the high quality fat thing, his book: 'Eat Fat, Get Thin.' He's also big on paleo. I was excited to hear about paleo as I had been trying to operate in that manner to some degree for awhile.

Since about 1980, off and on I've been doing a blueberry cleanse in August - OlyWA where I've lived has a number of U-pick blueberry patches, also one that's been long abandoned and somewhat overgrown. Really great feeling to load up on blueberries and not much else for a few days. Hunter gatherers would go through phases like that, depending on what was available, ready to eat. I read a book by a mountain man once who said if you're going to kill a bear for meat, you should do it at the end of blueberry season as the meat will taste the best. Cleaned out.

One reason I've been determined to quit coffee. Not paleo.

Blueberries are virtually all water. You can get the nutrients inside a bunch of them in this one pill plus the extract from red wine skins. Of course, nothing like fresh fruit to wash down a pill too ...

If you go to the Montery Bay Spice Co. you can buy many nutrients and supplements in bulk on the super cheaps. I can get a pound of astragalus root for $8 bucks !
