Curry always seems to get a bad rap when it comes to healthy eating, but in actual fact curry contains some amazing ingredients that really can help to support a healthy life style.
Depending on the region of India your curry originates from you could have main ingredients that are either vegetables, chicken, lamb or fish, which in their own rights provide us with a multitude of vitamins such as A, C and D along with other nutrients like protein, B6, B12, zinc, calcium, magnesium and omega 3 to name but a few. All of these are important building blocks for the body.
But this is just the start! When we look at the spices involved this is where some really key nutritional benefits can be found. I’ve listed some below along with the benefits they provide.
Turmeric
