Garlic is best consumed raw. If you want to cook it, mash it well half an hour before, so you will allow the beneficial substances to form and they resist heat. Including 1 to 4 teeth a day in the diet allows you to benefit from its properties, both to prevent and to alleviate certain health problems.
When buying it, you should choose those whose skin is soft, soft and small or medium-sized, well-shaped, bright orange, with a uniform narrowing and without lateral rootlets. If they have leaves, they should be fresh and have a good green color.
