Garlic is one of the healthiest foods on earth. There are over 300 varieties of it on Planet Earth today. The best way to release the health-happy power of garlic is to cut it, which then turns garlic’s thio-sulfinite compounds into allicin, an antibiotic and antifungal that is believed to reduce “bad” cholesterol, as it inhibits enzymes from growing in liver cells.

Crushing or mincing garlic releases it’s full potential. It tastes absolutely delicious and goes well with: steak, lemon butter, eggs, salmon, shrimp, parsley, olive oil and much more.
