I know there have to be a few people out there who don't love garlic. I've never met them, but I know they're out there. Each year Gilroy, California hosts a wonderful festival in honor of Garlic.
We did our part to help celebrate the wonderful taste, aroma and health benefits of this wonderful bulb!
From the earliest times, garlic has been used as part of peoples' diet. It formed part of the food of the Israelites in Egypt and of the labourers employed by Cheops in the construction of his pyramid. It was largely consumed by the ancient Greek and Roman soldiers, sailors and rural classes. Garlic is most often used as a seasoning or a condiment, and is believed by many to have some medicinal value. It also contains alliin, ajoene, enzymes, vitamin B, minerals, and flavonoids.
