Medina's note
The pepper and the oil are not for flavour. Curcumin — the yellow compound in turmeric — is poorly absorbed on its own; piperine from black pepper and a little fat both measurably improve how much of it your body actually takes up. It is one of the few kitchen folk-rules that holds up.
