✦ Sulphur compounds ✦ Allicin ✦ Manganese ✦ Flavouring

Garlic is a pungent bulb used worldwide as a flavouring. It contains sulphur compounds such as allicin, formed when cloves are crushed, which are linked to antimicrobial and cardiovascular effects.

🍳
Preparation note

Crush or chop garlic and let it stand for ten minutes before cooking to allow allicin to form; high heat destroys much of its activity.
