Mashed garlic is a versatile ingredient made by crushing or blending garlic cloves into a smooth paste. Originating from cuisines across the globe, notably Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cooking, it adds a bold, aromatic flavor to dishes. Garlic is rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, and selenium, and contains powerful antioxidants. Allicin, a compound released when garlic is mashed or chopped, has been linked to heart health, immune support, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its health benefits shine most when enjoyed raw or lightly cooked, as high heat can diminish some of its beneficial compounds. However, mashed garlic can be pungent and may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals if consumed in excess. Whether used as a base for sauces, marinades, or soups, or simply spread on bread, mashed garlic is a flavorful and nutrient-packed addition to a healthy diet.
