Description

Garlic also belongs to the Allium family. It is a bulb that is versatile and aromatic and is widely used in many cuisines. Its strong and sharp smell gives way to a sweeter and more subtle taste when cooked; thus, it is commonly used in stir-fries, roasted recipes, marinades, sauces, and soups. Garlic is also valued for its health properties, featuring such components as allicin, which has anti-inflammatory and immune-strengthening actions. Rich in antioxidants and other nutrients like manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, garlic also boosts heart health and also helps lower cholesterol levels. Garlic can be consumed raw, chopped, or in a powdered form and gives a rich and strong taste to different types of dishes.
