                                For over 5,000 years, ancient cultures from Egypt to China have used garlic not just for flavor, but for its therapeutic properties. Crushing or chopping a clove releases allicin, a powerful sulfur compound responsible for many of the key benefits of garlic. This pungent bulb remains a cornerstone of traditional medicine and modern nutritional science alike.
