Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the best spices for boosting metabolism because it contains a chemical compound called curcumin. This fights inflammation, reduces bloating and increases metabolism.
Turmeric is a popular spice used in scrambled eggs. It can give your dish a spicier, bolder flavor. Try out this turmeric scrambled egg recipe from BBC.
Red Pepper Flakes
Hotter spices tend to be the best choice for boosting metabolism, which is why red pepper flakes can do the trick. This hot seasoning can get your heart pumping faster and speed up your metabolism.
Red pepper flakes go great in omelettes. And the great thing about using this spice is that you won’t need many more ingredients because the flavor is so bold. Try this recipe from Taste Of Home.
Cumin
Cumin has also been found to increase metabolism and add in weight loss. This spice is often used in recipes alongside turmeric, but has its own distinct flavor.
It goes great with fried eggs - especially in this Moroccan-inspired recipe from Food.com.
Ginger
Ginger may not seem like the first choice spice to pair with eggs, but don’t knock it till you try it! This spice is loaded with anti-inflammatory benefits and has been found to speed up metabolism.
