Garlic is amazing

On Garlic

Garlic is well known as a health food. It has been used historically as a preservative (effective but unpleasant with fruit). Its immune and circulation boosting properties are well noted. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103721

Its anti viral properties have  not been researched so thoroughly but papers exist

The efficacy of garlic is hugely diminished by cooking it. If you want the health boosting effects, eat it raw.

I don’t know about you, but when I think garlic I primarily think Greek or Arabic food. So, the first simple things that springs to mind are hummus and tzatziki.

Beautiful and refreshing dip. Imagine if you still had to be at work rather than eating this
