Knob Hill
In the spirit of spring cleaning, we're devoting our Test Kitchen recipes this month to detoxification, focusing on foods that purify the digestive system, like antioxidant-rich turmeric. For our first recipe, the Test Kitchen developed a fresh turmeric juice that's smoother than many bottled brands. Orange, carrot, coconut water and agave nectar balance the root's natural bitterness, while lemon and ginger give it a lift. You might make it your daily "orange" juice, if not for turmeric's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, then for its taste.
