There are particular spices,flavours or aromas that are authentic to any given region across the globe. With a Caribbean heritage, I’m quite accustomed to having most dishes packed with flavour and curry is certainly one of those spices that stands out. When I was growing up, my dad curried everything!!…eggplant, string beans, pumpkin you name it. According to Organic Facts, “curry has a number of valuable health benefits, including the prevention of cancer, protection against heart disease, reduce Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, ease pain and inflammation, boost bone health, protect the immune system from bacterial infections, and increase the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body.” There are countless of research articles that will point to the same health benefits. I think dad was definitely on to something! For a healthier you, curry plants, not chicken.
