On a casual dance floor, for example, a high school prom, youâre apt to see couples doing a hug and sway to slow music. The couple is squared-off. The guy puts his hands on her waist and she puts her hands on his shoulders. Thereâs copious body contactâitâs more hug than dance.
The general rule of thumb for converting dried herbs or spices to fresh in a recipe is 1-to-3, so 1 teaspoon of dried spice is equal to 3 teaspoons -- 1 tablespoon -- of fresh. Roughly 2 inches of fresh turmeric root will yield 1 tablespoon of the freshly grated spice.
So great to be able to get fresh Turmeric. The medical literature on Curcumin is starting to prove the utility of this root. The low levels of Alzheimer's amoungst users is enough for me. Heat it in olive oil, makes great omelets.
