曾经被称为穷人藏红花、拥有5000多年食用历史的姜黄，在2016年被官方认定爆红了。Google发布的食物趋势报告显示，从去年11月到今年2月，姜黄的搜索量上升了56%，而如果时间拉长到过去5年，它的搜索量涨了3倍。人们在搜索引擎、视频网站上如饥似渴地寻求它的效用和做法。
With 5,000 years of edible history and being honored as the poor man’s saffron, turmeric is surely dye-ing the year 2016 into its bright orange color. According to Google’s food trend report, the search for the word 'turmeric' increased by 56% this past winter. People are eagerly searching for information of its power and recipes.姜黄是什么？名字都带“姜”字，不过姜黄和生姜是两回事。虽然同属于姜科，外观和味道上有一点的相似性，不过削去表皮，姜黄的橙色非常醒目；而实际吃起来，姜黄比生姜多一点苦味以及温和的胡椒香，辛辣度并不那么强，但是会让你舌头有微麻感。Being from the same family as ginger, turmeric looks and tastes slightly like its cousin, ginger. But after peeling off the papery skin, turmeric stands out with its bright yellow/orange-ish color. In terms of flavor, it is characterized by its mild peppery flavor, a little bitterness, is less spicy but also more likely to cause your tongue to go numb.市面上大多数见到的应该还是姜黄粉，因为新鲜姜黄只能在冰箱保鲜1-2个礼拜，而且新鲜姜黄很容易把你的手、案板无情地染色，这个时候你只能找柠檬汁来救场了。传统来说，咸食中的咖喱、沙爹、拌饭或者其他腌料是姜黄经常出现的地方，但现在，它爆红的一个体现，就在于其存在于各种各样的食品中，和酸奶搭配制成蘸料，制作果醋拌进沙拉，加入牛奶或者拿铁变成风味特饮，还有把蔬果汁果昔们染的闪闪发光。英国的卫报已经将姜黄拿铁列为年度饮品之选。
In the domestic market, we mainly encounter turmeric powder, since the fresh one can only be kept for 1-2 weeks in the fridge and it really dyes everything it comes across…Traditionally people use turmeric in curry, satay, marinate mix, but now, what also reflects it popularity is that it can be used nearly everywhere – in yogurt to make dippings, in vinegar, in milk to make golden milk and into cold-pressed juices or smoothies. Britain’s Guardian has listed turmeric latte as the drink of the year.
姜黄最为人看中的，就是其药用价值，而发挥作用的，最著名的是其中蕴含的姜黄素。而且对于病人来说，它不会带来消炎药类惯有的副作用——除非你有肾结石或者胆囊结石，那就只能避让了。The most valued part of turmeric is curcumin. The good news is, it is quite well tolerated by patients, unless you have gallbladder or kidney stones, curcumin doesn’t have big side-effects as most anti-inflammatory drugs do.2012年的一项研究发现，它在类风湿性关节炎的治疗方面，有着比成药更好的效果；而对于关节炎来说，一项2009年的研究中，当患者被分为姜黄素治疗组和布洛芬治疗组的时候，前者的止痛效果和后者相当，而且前者在上下楼梯的时候疼痛感更低、副作用更小。消炎功效对于没有疾病的人来说，可以在运动后恢复时帮上忙。去年已经有研究发现，它对于肌肉酸痛等可能有缓解作用。Curcumin works well for those suffering from arthritis deformans and osteoarthritis. Its performances sometimes exceed ibuprofen.The anti-inflammatory effect can be also applied to post-exercise situations. 除了消炎，姜黄还有其他效果。同样在2012年，另一项研究发现，它对于基因修复都有帮助，可以将基因破损减少一半。本身就是一种抗氧化物质的姜黄，还可以刺激身体生成更多的天然抗氧化酶——超氧物歧化酶，它的功能用通俗的话来说，就是把跑偏上邪路的氧成分带回正轨，或者把它们转变成水分，这在防癌方面有一定作用。有科学家认为，它比摄入抗氧化维生素片（比如维生素A、C、E）更有效果。姜黄可能在减少二型糖尿病的心血管疾病风险，提升新陈代谢，以及预防和治疗老年痴呆方面有一定作用。在姜黄素之外，姜黄还蕴含姜黄酮等三百多种物质，但它们的价值还有待一一确认。不过，除了消炎镇痛之外的研究目前还没完全进入人类临床阶段，其功效并没有得到完全的确认。Additionally, some research also suggests that curcumin is useful in repairing breakage of DNA by acting as an antioxidant and neutralizing free radicals. Its function in reducing risks of Alzheimer’s, cancer and heart disease as well as type 2 diabetes has also been published in the academic world, however this research needs more human tests and further confirmation.生姜黄在消炎方面效果更好，而烹调过的姜黄应该会对DNA起更佳保护作用。所以，有条件的话，其实建议生熟都能涉及。而把它和豆奶混合，可以使其消炎作用翻倍；如果和胡椒混合，胡椒中的生物碱能让姜黄素的作用提升 2000% 之多；和牛油果或坚果这类脂肪搭配食用，会加速身体对姜黄的吸收能力。Fresh turmeric works better for inflammation while the cooked one may be more active in protecting DNA. So it’s better to mix these two in your daily diet. It works better when mixed with soya milk; if mixed with pepper, its curcumin can be boosted by as much as 2000%. The right combination with fat in avocado and nuts can improve our body’s digestion of curcumin.
