Eating Raw Garlic and Its Benefits To Health

Garlic (allimum sativum) commonly known as a spice for cooking purpose. With a history of human use of over 7,000 years, garlic is native to central Asia, and has long been a principal ingredient in the Mediterranean region, as well as a common seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used for culinary and medical purposes.

Garlic is easy to grow mild climates. Almost all of the garlic is cultivated by planting individual cloves in the ground. In cold climates, cloves are planted in the fall, about six weeks before the soil freezes, and harvested in late spring.
