"Garlic" was mentioned in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 61

        "And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing."

 


Historical Note

Garlic is native to central Asia and has been used in cooking and medicine for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used garlic to boost their strength and productivity, and it was used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various ailments.

During World War I, garlic was used to treat soldiers' wounds due to its antiseptic properties. Garlic also played a significant role in Greek and Roman mythology, with both cultures attributing it to various health benefits..

 

Nutritional Value

Garlic is rich in various nutrients, including vitamins B6 and C, manganese, and selenium. It also contains a compound called allicin, which has potent medicinal properties. Allicin is responsible for the pungent smell and taste of garlic, and studies have shown that it can help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and boost immunity. Garlic is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect against oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

 

 


Conclusion
Garlic is a superfood that can provide numerous health benefits. From boosting immunity to reducing cholesterol levels, incorporating garlic into your diet can have a significant impact on your overall health. So, next time you're in the kitchen, don't forget to add a clove or two of garlic to your dish!
