[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

My family’s favorite fall recipe! This bread is so yummy it goes quickly. Note that my video has the amounts doubled because I made 2 loaves. Here is the recipe for one loaf:

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup sugar
1 T baking powder
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup orange juice + 1/2 tsp citrus zest
1/2 cup water + 1 T flax seeds (soak for 5 minutes) **
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin

optional: pumpkin seed, nuts, oats

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake 40-55 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before cutting and enjoy.

** In my video I did not have flax seed so I used ground flax. I still used the same amount of water that the recipe calls for. I would suggest using less water if you use ground flax since it takes the bread longer to cook due to the excess liquid. This contributes to the large cooking range I have given.

Patient choice over treatment and care is a central feature of the UK’s National Health System, and patients’ experience of treatment and care is a major indicator of quality. But it isn’t easy to find out how well a treatment has worked.

Find out how a group of Oxford University researchers pioneered the use of questionnaires about hip and knee replacements, and revolutionized how patients’ experience could be used to assess and improve the UK’s healthcare.
