Do you need black pepper to absorb fresh turmeric?
Excuse me, but I'm a bit confused by your question. Are you asking if black pepper is necessary to help the body absorb fresh turmeric, or is there some other context I'm missing? If it's the former, I'm not sure that black pepper is specifically required for turmeric absorption, but it's commonly believed that the piperine in black pepper can enhance the bioavailability of certain nutrients, including curcumin, which is a compound found in turmeric. However, this doesn't mean that you can't benefit from turmeric without black pepper. It's just that the combination may provide additional benefits. Is there a specific reason you're asking about this?
