Garlic
The Wonders Of
Garlic
Garlic has many wonders? ‘And what are they?’ you may ask, but
laugh not, because although this little gem may have the
unfortunate reputation of having an amazingly strong odour and
pungent flavour, (although this magically disappears if garlic is
roasted, where instead, it actually becomes incredibly sweet
tasting and not so whiffy in the smell department), it does however
have an amazing array of pro’s rather than con's, enabling it to
probably win the gold medal for health-giving foods.
Garlic Wins The
Gold Medal For Super Foods
Best known for its healthy
heart benefits, it also has
amazing antibiotic and antifungal properties,
mainly due to the Allicin it
contains. To get the highest level of Allicin from your garlic,
make sure you use the raw garlic in your cooking straight after
crushing, grating or chopping the garlic clove; A long delay in
using the raw garlic after preparing it will only make the Allicin
degrade and you won’t get maximum benefits from this super-food, so
make sure you use it quickly.
