Garlic is one of the most powerful medicinal herbs that we know of.  From it’s anti cancer, bacterial, and fungal properties, to being beneficial in reducing; heart disease, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries),  cholesterol and blood pressure, this is herb is truly amazing.  Allicin, garlic’s active ingredient, is also shown to improve immunity, and help stave off colds and flus. Garlic is also highly nutritious.  It’s rich in Manganese, B6, Vitamin C, and Selenium. All of this, packed into a tiny bulb.

In order to get more of this in our diet, I’ve provided a  simple recipe for roasted garlic. Use it as a spread on crostini, added in to soups, dips, or any other recipe that can benefit from the sweet caramelized flavor, of roasted garlic.
