Beside me, anybody else eats raw garlic? According to other people (aka wife) it can be smelled through the skin later on. Since my smell glands died long time ago, I don't mind/smell it. Garlic (specially raw) is nature's best deffense against vamp.... er anything!
Ugh, doesn't it burn your mouth? I use raw garlic for treating ringworm. Sometimes I chop it up with raw ginger for salads.
Well, I guess it is an acquired taste, but no, doesn't burn, I like the taste, that's why I eat it. The health benefits are just extra... http://www.healthcastle.com/garlic-cancer.shtml
Yeah I know the health benefits: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects Volume 1379, Issue 2, 2 February 1998, Pages 233-244 http://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...id=29441&md5=cbe5d909b1e494ad09116de5b8f6056e It also has antibacterial/antimicrobial action Microbes and Infection Volume 1, Issue 2, February 1999, Pages 125-129 http://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...id=29441&md5=eb3e851b52d5697a4384eced6bda0795
Have any of you come across the one-clove garlic? In India, people believe [traditionally] that it has more potent health benefits.
I love garlic. It does have more heat when it's fresh. I used to make a mix of garlic and apple cider vinegar, put it in a spray bottle and give myself a few squirts every day during cold season. It also worked great to clean and season the Foreman grill.
I have never eaten it raw. I have taken capsules before, but I am sure they are nothing compared to the real thing. My dad used to eat it raw and rarely gets sick. He is 83 and still going strong. I have heard it wards off colds and strengthens the immune system. :shrug: Clustering- it really cleans the Foreman grill huh...I will have to give that a shot.
Well, as noted on this site before the trick to cleaning the foreman is to do while it's still warm. The vinegar is the cleaning agent while the garlic just an extra bonus. It came about because it took me forever to rinse it when I used dish soap because I couldn't submerse it. Now I skip the soap and use the Gar/Vin spray first, followed by a hot damp cloth. Some would say it's not killing all the bacteria, but it's never made me sick so screw it. What can live at 200 plus degrees anyway?

I eat it right from the clove and also onions but the onoins takes time to get used to. My pal eats onions like an apple.
