Eating raw garlic

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...

It also has antibacterial/antimicrobial action

I have eaten it raw in the past.
I've eaten it straight from the ground before.

 

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 crush it into V-8 juice with lots of black pepper.

 

I've heard it helps lower high blood pressure.

And keeps away Vamp...er never mind.

 

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.

 

I love raw garlic, its the only way to eat it.

I am sure you know that V8 is loaded with salt.

 

I add salt too.

 

horrible. Tomato juice with black pepper and horseradish for me.

 

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 raw garlic. I put it on black bread. It's very healthy and tasty.

 

can you really call that raw?

 

Don't put ringworm and salad into the same sentence, thats not right.


peace.

 

Read it again: she didn't.

Raw garlic is nice. The best thing, though, is preparing a refreshing dish of Turkish cacık, loading it with garlic, and hammering down the salt like there's no tomorrow.

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.
