About Ajo
Ajo, commonly known as garlic, is a pungent bulb widely used in Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American cuisines. Native to Central Asia, it has been revered for both its flavor and health benefits for centuries. Packed with vitamins C and B6, manganese, and selenium, garlic is rich in antioxidants and compounds like allicin, known for its potential antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It may support heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels. However, consuming excessive amounts can lead to stomach discomfort or bad breath. Garlic is highly versatile, used fresh, roasted, or powdered to enhance soups, sauces, meats, and vegetables. Its bold taste and medicinal qualities make it a staple ingredient in kitchens around the globe, contributing not only to flavorful dishes but also to overall wellness when enjoyed in moderation.
