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.
