Garlic paste is a creamy, flavorful blend made by finely grinding fresh garlic cloves, often combined with oil and salt for consistency and preservation. This versatile condiment is a staple in numerous global cuisines, including Mediterranean, Indian, Middle Eastern, and East Asian cooking, where it lends its pungent aroma and robust taste to marinades, stir-fries, sauces, and dips. Garlic is well-known for its health benefits, being rich in antioxidants and compounds like allicin, which may support heart health, bolster immunity, and offer anti-inflammatory properties. However, some store-bought garlic pastes may include additives, preservatives, or added sodium, which may reduce nutritional value. Choosing homemade or minimally processed versions can help maximize its wholesome qualities. While garlic paste enhances dishes with depth and warmth, consuming it in moderation is recommended for individuals sensitive to garlic or prone to digestive discomfort.
