    I just picked up my golden spice yesterday and I’m so glad I did. I’m coming down with a cold and I tried it tonight and I just love it. I love all of your spices. Such a wonderful lovely place to stop by.

    The black pepper in your spice mix is very important. It increases the bio-availability of the turmeric. Most turmeric capsules contain a small amount of black pepper.

    Hi Jayah,
    Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed the class and have been enjoying your Golden Milk! Certainly this is just one way to make this delicious brew! I have tried multiple methods of making Golden Milk paste and have found that it is always going to leave a little bit of grit or sludge at the bottom of my mug. Yes, our blend uses our Alleppey Turmeric, which has been tested at 5.5% curcumin, a very high level indeed.

    Last comment: I am the regular Oaktown Spice Shop customer who encouraged (begged?) you to make and sell a Golden Milk Spice blend after taking your class. THANK YOU!!!!!

    You also don’t mention that the class was using a very special turmeric that has been tested to be a certain level of curcumin which is the active anti-inflammatory that we want. I assume this blend is using that special turmeric and know that Oaktown Spice Shop sells high quality spices. Also the fact that other ingredients are included so that the curcumin can be assimilated by the body. That’s a very important reason to buy a blend, not just ingest turmeric.
    So can we get the ingredients from Costco? Yes.
    Do I want to? NO!

    from Healthline.com/nutrition: "Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color.
    It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb.
    Recently, science has started to back up what the Indians have known for a long time… it really does contain compounds with medicinal properties

    These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin.
    Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
    However, the curcumin content of turmeric is not that high… it’s around 3%, by weight."

    I realize that OSS does not want to make “health claims,” but you could share the type of turmeric and the tested percentage for those who are in any doubt about buying your quality Golden Milk Spice.
