What is Tumeric and pepper?

Turmeric and black pepper are medicinal plants with more than 4000 years of history and use. Originating from India and considered superfoods due to their high content of vitamins and minerals rich in nutrients that provide numerous benefits for health and wellbeing.

Curcumin which is present in turmeric is a rich source of protein, fiber, niacin, Vitamins C, E and K, sodium, potassium, calcium, copper, Iron, magnesium and zinc and provide tremendous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Black pepper also provides essential vitamins A, C and K, folate, choline and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.
