Did you know? Garlic has both antibiotic and anti-fungal properties, and boasts anticancer characteristics. Studies show garlic may lower breast, colon, stomach, throat and skin cancer risks. Its heart-healthy, too, as its been shown to prevent clotting. The secret to all these health benefits? Sulfides. Those beneficial sulfides arent released, however, unless the garlic is crushed or chopped and left to sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes before eating or cooking. Garlic purchased already chopped offers the same benefits. Try adding chopped garlic to sauteed greens, salad dressings or homemade spaghetti sauce.
