From an original idea here
Turmeric is a spice with a strong, earthy flavour that's often used in curries and other Indian dishes. It has received a lot of attention for its content of the powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient curcumin. Turmeric is effective at reducing the inflammation related to arthritis, diabetes and other diseases.
nothing to do with a seeded turmeric loaf!

seen on google and shared with you here
Have a happy day
All the best Jan
...I know nothing about turmeric, but I'm lookiing forward to the return of monarchs!
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty good, Jan!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very healthy and nutritious loaf.
ReplyDeleteHey Jan! I'm gonna bookmark this. LOOOOOKKKKKSS GOOOOOD. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI should try that, i rally like turmeric
ReplyDeleteThat looks very good. I expect it's very filling, too, so you wouldn't be tempted to have too much in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteI love turmeric. Up until recently, I used to regularly drink what is called golden milk. A mixture of turmeric, coconut oil, honey and milk of your choice, served warm. Unfortunately, I just learned that turmeric can have an adverse contraindication with one of my Parkinson's medications. However delicious as this cake looks today, I'm sure a teaspoon divided up over that many servings couldn't do me any harm.
ReplyDeleteLook good, Jan.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting. I haven't yet joined the tumeric craze, but I'd think about it with this loaf. I love all the buts and seeds in it.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow flowers are the turmeric in that photo. Enjoy your day
ReplyDeleteLooks good
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks good! I've been busy in the kitchen with making jam and canning, so my blog reading hasn't been the greatest of late. Today will be an easier day so I'm playing catch up. :) Hope you are enjoying July so far!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good Jan :-D I take turmeric everyday :-D
ReplyDeleteSounds very healthy, looks delicious too.
ReplyDeleteThe flower and butterfly are lovely.
Take care, have a great day!
It must be delicious. I like all bread, but for health reasons, I can only eat white bread right now, and in small quantities.
ReplyDeleteBest regards
Dear Jan!
ReplyDeleteDelicious, healthy and natural loaf of bread
I would love to use your recipe. I have been baking bread myself for many years.
Hugs and greetings.
