Garlic
Allicin, the sulphuric compound present in garlic and onions, has powerful health benefits. In essence, it’s an anti-inflammatory compound; it reduces sugar levels in your blood and can help lower cholesterol levels. It comes as no surprise that ancient civilizations used garlic as both food and medicine.
As with many compounds, some nutrients in garlic are diluted, burned, or washed away when cooked. In their raw form, garlic is massively concentrated, so eat it both raw and cooked — A salad dressing is the best way to add raw garlic to your meals.
