Is Garlic Better Raw or Cooked?
In the ongoing battle of raw vs. cooked, we take a look at one of my favorite foods, garlic! Is it better to cook the vampire repelling food or leave it as nature intended? Drumroll please…
it looks like the raw foodies win this one! A study in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry shows that fresh garlic has more hydrogen sulfide, which relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and giving your heart a bit of a break!
Slice up a clove and add it to your next salad or blend it with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for a great dressing!
