Ingredient Spotlight!

~ Garlic~

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a vegetable widely used for flavouring when cooking. However, due to its potent nutrients, many have used it for medicinal purposes.

One raw clove of garlic is said to be packed with nutrients such as fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, etc. It also reportedly contained vitamins such as vitamins A, C, B1 (thiamin), B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, and Vitamin K, among others.

Due to its many potent nutrients, garlic can reportedly help boost the immune system and prevent colds and the flu virus.

You can add garlic to meat, vegetable, and soup dishes.  You can even have it raw if desired.

To good health!
