Hola amiga un placer saludarte 🤗
El color que aporta la cúrcuma es muy bonito, y lo mejor es que es natural, la india es un país que se reconoce por su deliciosa comida condimentada y con mucho sabor, todos los platos que nos presentas se ven muy apetitosos.
El color en nuestros alimentos entra por la mirada, pues así nos llama más la atención y nos abre el apetito, no sabía todos los beneficios de la cúrcuma, gracias por compartirlos.
Me encanto leerte 🏵️
Saludos y bendiciones ✨
Turmeric is also used in almost every curry in Bangladesh. It gives a nice color to the food. Not only that, it plays a special role in increasing immunity and body height. Wishing you success in the competition.

Dear, you have written very nicely with food colors and its health benefits. Turmeric and chilies are very important for coloring food. You have given pictures of food cooked with turmeric and chillies. Very nicely presented by you. Good luck to you.
Hola amiga
El color que a usted le gusta es muy llamativo y teniendo en cuenta los beneficios que tiene la cúrcuma en la salud que bueno que la consumen mucho, ese color amarillo cremoso que da como resultado final se ve muy provocativo en esas comidas, veo que ustedes en la india comen muy rico, suerte en el concurso amiga.
