Turmeric. If it sprouts, then plant it.

Turmeric is being hailed as a wonder food. The active ingredient is curcumin which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It has been used in Asian cooking forever and gives dishes their golden colour. It  may also be used as a dye.

Cairns Coconut Museum sells delicious, decadent Coconut Nectar & Turmeric which is to-die-for. It is produced by Jimalie Organic Coconut Products: Organic. Sustainable. Fair.

Turmeric, like ginger, forms a rhizome which is like an underground stem that grows horizontally close to the surface. It stores food for the plant so that when the plant dies back, the rhizome is able to produce new growth when the conditions are right.

Turmeric Rhizomes, some with roots.

And a shoot!

So plant it and it will grow into this.

But what to do with Jimalie Organic Coconut Products Coconut Nectar & Turmeric? Indulge yourself! Use it as you would honey to give a golden colour to your desserts.


With banana and Greek yoghurt.

Or add some blueberries.

Or whatever your imagination will allow. Coconut Nectar & Turmeric is absolutely delicious.

It is finally raining in Far North Queensland

At last it is raining in tropical Kuranda, Far North Queensland, Australia.




Rainwater .... the best way to hydrate a human. Another good way to rehydrate is to drink coconut water from jt's coconut essence. Coconut water is also a good source of potassium and it contains small amounts of other minerals. It is no miracle drink but it is delicious and better for you than a lot of sports drinks and definitely much better than sugar-laden soft drinks.
