7. Stain-Free Turmeric
Fresh turmeric likes to stain everything bright yellow, which is pretty but also annoying. When you’re preparing turmeric, use a glass chopping board or one you can wash up straight away, and wear an apron to protect your clothes. You can squeeze a little lemon juice onto your hands and rub them together to help shift any turmeric stains from your fingers.
