Incorporating garlic into your daily routine is simple and delicious:
Raw Garlic: Crush a clove and add it to salad dressings, dips, or guacamole. This form preserves the highest amount of allicin.
Roasted Garlic: Roast whole bulbs until soft and golden, then spread on bread or mix into soups and mashed potatoes.
Garlic Powder: A convenient way to season vegetables, sauces, and meats.
Garlic Tea: Simmer crushed cloves in hot water and drink as tea or use as a soup base.
Tip: Let crushed garlic sit for 10 minutes before heating to maximize allicin production, as heat can reduce its medicinal potency.
