Golden Turmeric Latte Benefits:
Why Add Black Pepper ?
5 % of the turmeric spice is composed of an active compound called curcumin that also gives it the beautiful golden yellow color. But when consumed on its own our liver is actively trying to get rid of. However the piperine compound in black pepper actually inhibits this process of the liver thus boosting the bioavailability of curcumin by as much as 2000% (Source: NutritionFacts.org)
