Leafy greens are some of the most important super foods we can put into our bodies. The nutritional content of leafy greens are like adding the power of Iron Man, Super Man and Wonder Woman all into one.

But you would be overlooking one crucial fact about turmeric that could mean the difference between simple consumption and full-absorption.
