At Indigo Indian Bistro, flavor is just the beginning. Many of the spices we use every day in our kitchen—like turmeric, ginger, cumin, and coriander—don’t just taste amazing; they also come with centuries of tradition and health benefits behind them.

​

Turmeric: Famous for its bright golden color, turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. It’s been linked to supporting joint health, reducing inflammation, and even boosting brain function. You'll find it in dishes like curries and lentils, giving them warmth and a hint of earthiness. 

 

Ginger: Known for its zesty, fresh kick, ginger is a natural remedy for digestion and nausea. It’s also packed with antioxidants and can help support the immune system. In Indian cuisine, it's often used in marinades, stews, and teas to add depth and brightness.

 

Cumin, Coriander & More: Cumin is great for digestion and metabolism, while coriander offers antibacterial properties and cooling effects. Spices like cardamom and cloves are also used for their unique flavors and digestive support.These spices don’t just make our food unforgettable—they also make you feel good from the inside out.Curious to taste the benefits yourself?
