Garlic as Medicine?
March 24th, 2009
Garlic is an excellent antioxidant that can reduce harmful free radicals that exist in the human body. Garlic reduces cholesterol, clears arteries and helps maintain healthy blood circulation.
Roasted garlic adds a wonderful rich, sweet flavor to dishes without adding any fat. Try it in mashed potatoes, sauces, dips, soups, appetizers and vegetable dishes. To roast garlic, preheat oven to 350F. Remove any of the skin that comes away easily and cut about 1/4″ off the top of the garlic head. Place cut side up on a piece of foil, wrap and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool. To remove the garlic, turn the head upside down and gently squeeze the garlic out of the skins.
