Lightbulb no, cumin is different.

Curcumin is in curry spice. So is cumin. But they come from different plants, and
are different chemically.

I use a Pondecherry curry in our soups, stews and even
chili. I make chili out of chicken and pork, more than I do with
beef.

I don't use as much as you'd do for curry, but used lightly to
moderately..taste it to your liking..I find it gives a nice body to
soups/stews and makes the house smell really nice. Hubby always comments on the aroma!

Curcumin needs oil to be absorbed so it is thought to work better from foods. But I just found a LEF article on adding piperine (Bioperine) to it to make it more absorbable.

This is the newest thread from PD on it. Those forum members use and post about it alot. So do a search there too.

read this thread-- there is discussion on smaller doses vs. larger ones.
