Garlic
- Availability
- Mid-July to end of January
Did you know that some people find garlic hard to digest? If you have this problem, eat your garlic cooked rather than raw, remove the germ or just rub the cut clove on the bottom of the pot or skillet without adding any to the recipe.
Did you know that people who eat garlic regularly develop enzymes that help to reduce the odour? If you only eat garlic occasionally, remember that chewing on parsley leaves helps to freshen your breath!
Do you know the nutritional value of garlic? Garlic contains phytochemical sulphur compounds that are released when the clove is crushed, ground or minced. These compounds may help to prevent various types of cancer, including cancers of the digestive system.
