HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING GARLIC

Having work personally on garlic in my project i am overwhelmed with the medicinal properties of this plant product. GARLIC is a favourite of thrifty creative cooks. A single good-sized head is potent enough to flavour a week's worth of dishes, everything from soup to stir-fry, meat, chicken, pasta sauce, vinaigrette, croutons, and butter for garlic bread.
