Did you know?

Did you know that garlic was used by Egyptian labours while they were giving their best building the pyramids? Yes they did, and they did so because of its medicinal and antibiotic properties which would help then to keep up with all the bruises and injuries they would get while working. There is a powerful compound in garlic called Allicin which imparts garlic its smell and other medicinal properties.


Magic of Allicin

Allicin works in a very interesting way, so to let it work to its max potential you just have to crush it and let it breathe, mind you if it is cooked this compound will vanish. That’s predominantly the main reason it should be eaten raw.

To have it you have to crush it nicely and leave it to breathe for around 15 minutes. This is the time when the power of Allicin spreads and its potency increases after which you are free to have it. Just for the information; that most of the people don’t like the odour, so to disguise it you can add some lettuce and vegetables along with little bit of olive oil and parsley. And Tada..!! The odour has reduced now without compromising the nutritional value garlic.
