Garlic

Garlic is considered as an useful spice with various health benefits. It is said to beneficial for cardiac problems and cholesterol management. However, it has to be kept in mind that Garlic alone can not be a treatment for any disease. Garlic has very high sulphur content which may not suit every individual. Overdose of any thing can cause adverse effect to ones health. Garlic is more effective when taken raw( which in my opinion is not an appetising option) or mildly fried. While using in our Indian cooking, in dals or as 'tadka' in other vegetables, it should not be allowed to turn deep brown. Crushed garlic also gives a distinctive taste when added to pizza sauce or other continental dishes.
