8 Health Benefits Of Garlic!

Garlic is good!

Raw Appeal

Consuming a whole clove of raw garlic can be unappetizing and unpalatable; it may also have you reaching for your breath mints to ward off the bad odour in your mouth. And in spite of it being a wonder bulb, too much of raw garlic can give your digestive system some problems. Moderation is the mantra when it comes to garlic consumption. Disguise the rawness and have it crushed, grated or chopped and added as an ingredient to your favourite dishes.

  • Mix grated garlic with your regular butter and apply it on toast: your version of garlic bread is ready.
  • Grind a few cloves of garlic with scraped coconut, tamarind pulp, red chillies and salt to make yummy garlic chutney which can be enjoyed with spicy parathas or roti.
  • You could also try mixing minced garlic with hummus, mayonnaise, salsa or cheese dip. Serve with bread, baked snacks or salted biscuits. Yummy and healthy!
  • Add half a tablespoon of finely chopped garlic to any salad that you are tossing. This will help you imbibe the benefits of garlic subtly without its flavour overwhelming the entire dish.
