Description
Nutritional & Health Benefits: Garlic is a powerful functional food, thanks to its sulfur compounds. It has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antiviral, antifungal, and intestinal antiparasitic properties. Garlic can reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure, prevent vascular diseases, and help regulate blood sugar, while its allyl-sulfide compounds may block tumor development and support cellular repair and immune defenses.
Culinary Uses: Garlic is an essential flavoring ingredient in cuisines worldwide. It can be used fresh, dry, dehydrated, whole, minced, grated, filleted, or mixed with oil, depending on the recipe. It enhances roasted meats, stews, sauces, soups, and dishes like ajada or garlic chicken, adding a rich, aromatic taste.
Storage: Whole garlic bulbs should be kept in a ventilated, cool, and dry place. Avoid storing in closed containers or the refrigerator, as this can reduce shelf life.
