Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
It has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
We all know the strong aroma of “garlic”…
Well, this sweet and exotic flower is part of it…
In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic,
perhaps owing to its reputation as a potent preventative medicine.
More to come…
Earth provides “enough” to satisfy every man’s need,
but not every man’s greed.
