Essential Trading Turmeric
Origin: India. Alternative names: Indian Saffron, Tumeric, Yellow Ginger.
Description: Turmeric comes from the root of Curcuma longa, a leafy plant in the ginger family. The root, or rhizome, has a tough brown skin and bright orange flesh. Ground tumeric comes from fingers which extend from the root. It is boiled or steamed and then dried, and ground.
History: Turmeric, with its brilliant yellow color, has been used as a dye, medicine, and flavoring since 600 BC. In 1280, Marco Polo described turmeric as "a vegetable with the properties of saffron, yet it is not really saffron." Indonesians used turmeric to dye their bodies as part of their wedding ritual. Turmeric has been used medicinally throughout Asia to treat stomach and liver ailments. It also was used externally, to heal sores, and as a cosmetic.
Use: A turmeric stain can be washed out with soap and water if treated quickly. Use turmeric to add Eastern mystery to new favorites as well as in traditional curries, rice and chicken dishes, and condiments. Turmeric is a classic addition to chutneys, pickles, and relishes. Add a pinch of turmeric to fish soups. Blend with melted butter and drizzle over cooked vegetables, pasta, or potatoes.

Lanes Lecigran
Lecithin is a complex mixture of natural chemical compounds called "phospholipids" which consist of fatty acids and a phosphate group linked to choline and inositol. Lecithin occurs naturally in all human, animal and vegetable cells. The most abundant source of lecithin in plant life is the soya bean. In humans, where the highest concentrations are found in the brain, liver, kidneys and bone marrow, lecithin circulates in the blood keeping other fatty substances - including cholesterol - in suspension. Lecithin is rich in phosphatidyl choline, a nutrient which plays an important role in the breakdown of fat in the liver and the emulsification of fat in food. Many of the foods we eat have been refined thus destroying their valuable lecithin content, diets which are rich in refined foods may not contain sufficient lecithin. Many men and women, particularly those on low fat, low cholesterol diets like to supplement the body's own supply of lecithin. Patrick Holford in his book "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind" suggests a tablespoon of lecithin granules every day as choline is transformed into acetycholine, a brain chemical vital for the transmission of messages between the brain cells..
Lecigran can be sprinkled onto all kinds of foods without affecting the taste or it can be taken directly from the spoon if preferred. Lecigran is a highly concentrated form of lecithin - one teaspoonful contains as much lecithin as eighteen 270mg capsules. Lecigran is available in the following sizes: 250g and 500g.
