About Garlic

Garlic, a staple in global cuisine, is a flavorful bulb originating from Central Asia. This versatile ingredient is renowned for its bold taste and aromatic presence, enhancing dishes from Italian pasta sauces to Asian stir-fries. Rich in vitamins C and B6, manganese, and selenium, garlic also contains sulfur compounds like allicin, which are credited with its potent health benefits. Studies suggest that these compounds may support heart health, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation. Garlic is low in calories yet packed with antioxidants, making it a weight-friendly choice for adding depth to meals. While generally healthy, excessive consumption may lead to digestive discomfort or an overpowering flavor. Whether roasted, minced, or raw, garlic is a powerhouse of both nutrition and taste, earning its place as a favorite in kitchens worldwide.
