Garlic Granules
Botanical name: (Allium sativum)
Also Known As: Pearl garlic, solo garlic, wild garlicm or crow garlic
Recognized for its pungent odor and taste, garlic is a powerful home medicine for the treatment for a host of health problems. Garlic is a whole food that has it all: an intense flavor, aromatic smell, numerous medicinal properties and a rich folklore.
Varying in size, raw garlic has a strong odor that smells quite different upon cooking. When raw, garlic is hot, pungent and intense, with a long lasting aftertaste. The odor is often absorbed into the body and released over time in the breath and perspiration.
Depending on how it is cooked, garlic loses varying degrees of flavor intensity. Generally, the longer it is cooked, the more gentle the flavor. Fresh roasted garlic takes on a nutty sweet flavor and entire bulbs of roast garlic can be consumed without danger of lingering odors. Exercise caution when frying or browning garlic as it burns very easily and the oil becomes rancid.
Dried garlic has a nutty, crunchy quality and can be used to flavor all varieties of food. Dried and ground garlic, or garlic powder is extremely strong and should be used sparingly as it can easily overwhelm a dish and remain on the palette a very long time.
Garlic is also known to reduce cholesterol, helps circulatory disorders, such as high blood pressure, and lower blood sugar levels, making it useful in cases of late—onset diabetes
