Turmeric has gained a lot of notoriety over the last few years for it's many health benefits. I use it all the time for added flavor on top of mashed or baked potato's, I throw it in Chili, stews, casserole's and added it to the list of things I flavor meat with. Not that I eat Kraft Mac and Cheese turmeric's many health benefits was why they went to using it to give it it's orange color a few years ago.
