About Garlic bulb

Garlic bulb, a staple in culinary traditions worldwide, originates from Central Asia and has been celebrated for both its flavor and health benefits for centuries. Packed with vitamins C and B6, manganese, selenium, and antioxidants like allicin, garlic is known for its immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and heart-healthy properties. Its bold, pungent flavor enhances diverse cuisines, from Italian pasta sauces to Asian stir-fries, and serves as the base for countless savory dishes. Studies suggest garlic may aid in reducing blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels. However, consuming it in excessive amounts can cause digestive discomfort or interact with certain medications. Whether used raw, roasted, or powdered, garlic remains an essential ingredient in kitchens everywhere, marrying robust flavor with potent health advantages in every clove.
