Turmeric is related to ginger and tastes similar, sweet and warm with a delicate spiciness that leaves room for a burst of chocolate flavour from the cacao, a definite favourite at Human Food HQ. The recipe includes a small amount of black pepper which gives another layer of invigorating warmth but also increases the uptake of the active ingredients.
About the most studied functional food out there, turmeric is shown to aid the immune system and to reduce inflammation. These bars are very popular with athletes looking to improve recovery.
