1. Are turmeric gummies gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe for Lemon Turmeric Gummies is 100% gluten-free. There are no grains, fillers, or processed ingredients used. It is a safe and healthy snack for anyone with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

2. What do turmeric, lemon, and honey do to the body?

This combination is a powerhouse. Turmeric contains curcumin, a strong anti-inflammatory compound. Lemon provides a high dose of Vitamin C for immune support, and honey offers antibacterial properties and soothes the throat. Together, they support overall wellness and digestion.

3. How to make anti-inflammatory gummies?

To maximize the anti-inflammatory properties, ensure you are using high-quality turmeric powder. You can also add a tiny pinch of black pepper to the mixture, which helps the body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric more effectively. Adding ginger is another great way to boost the health benefits.

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, lemon juice, lemon zest, turmeric, and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors. (Optional: Strain through a sieve to remove zest for a smoother texture).

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly sprinkle the gelatin powder over the liquid, one tablespoon at a time, whisking vigorously and constantly to incorporate without clumps.

4. Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a glass dish.

5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely solidified.

6. Remove the gummies from the molds and serve. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Creamy Variation: For a ‘Golden Milk’ style gummy, substitute the water with ¾ cup coconut milk and reduce lemon juice to ¼ cup. Increase turmeric to 1-2 teaspoons.

Smooth Texture: If you dislike the texture of zest, be sure to strain the liquid before adding the gelatin.

Storage: Keep these gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
