The paleo diet is known for having waves of “superfoods” that are in everything and then pass with a flash—not because they aren’t still healthy, but because an eating style that gets its momentum main from internet communities and word of mouth is likely to have “trends” in what’s most discussed. Turmeric, however, is one superfood that’s remained stable as a part of smoothies, soups, and curries. It has anti-inflammatory properties that combine well with things like ginger and cinnamon, and it has a mild flavor, so you can easily work it into your diet in many different dishes. Check out these recipes!
