Fennel with Turmeric Lactofermented

The fennel is carminative, meaning it helps expel intestinal gas. It also stimulates intestinal motility, is antibacterial, and has expectorant properties. The fennel seeds and essential oils are also used. Turmeric has strong anti-inflammatory effects, comparable to aspirin or cortisone but without the side effects. The black pepper enhances the bioavailability of turmeric's active compounds. This lactofermented dish provides probiotic benefits as well.
