Garlic cloves, when crushed, release a potent aroma and flavor that are staples in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes. Crushed garlic offers a blend of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese, and selenium. It’s rich in allicin, a compound known for its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This preparation enhances its bioavailable nutrients and stronger flavor, making it a versatile addition to meals. Garlic is low in calories but high in antioxidants, which may promote heart health by supporting healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure. However, its concentrated nature may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals if consumed in excess. Crushed garlic is best stored for short durations to retain its fresh, health-boosting qualities. Whether sautéed, added raw to dressings, or used in marinades, it’s a simple yet impactful way to elevate both flavor and nutrition.
