Title: Do you eat garlic?
Post by: melodylogan45 on February 09, 2016, 03:52:22 pm
I try to eat garlic several times a week, since it has so many health benefits.

I love garlic, but eating too much of it gives me indigestion (I was unaware at the time). I remember buying a large bag of cloves. I kept roasting and eating them one day, they were delicious, but man...was I in pain afterwards (along with having stinky breath).

Like garlic but we don't cook at home much.  I bought some fresh garlic at the store today and want to try to think of things to make with it because it does have so many health benefits.

I live the taste of garlic.  I'll use a little garlic salt instead of regular salt to spice things up.

I like garlic too, but it can get a little overwhelming at times... I once made a roast that used garlic slices wedged into it while it roasted. Unfortunately I didn't realize that after it was done cooking, you were to remove the garlic. Thus I tried eating one of those garlic chips and ended up ruining my pallet for the meal.

I do like how versatile it is while cooking. I'm always adding it to Italian dished, Chinese stir-fry, jambalaya and other Cajun foods, soups, meat preparations, etc.

We at times use garlic, but the fresh that we get here in our dinky grocery store is not the freshest. so I do have to rely on minced garlic in a jar for some of the food I cook. Love roasted garlic and will always cook extra for other recipes . I put it in small ice cube trays with a little grapeseed oil and freeze it and then I can just drop a cube or two into what ever I am cooking. Oh yeah after the tray is frozen I dump it into a baggie. Works great.

Garlic is great. I always use a little of it in my cooking. I find that I don't require as much salt with my meals when I cook with garlic because it is so flavorful. And you can't knock the health benefits either.

I really don't eat the actual fresh garlic but I do love the garlic flavor. I usually use just the garlic powder in my cooking. I love garlic bread or garlic toast. Probably don't reap the health benefits that garlic has when using the powder but I do like it.Usually have to chew gum afterwords to mask the breath odor.

Do you know how easy garlic bulbs are to grow? You place the garlic cloves (with or without their sheaths) in the ground in about November time, after all the warm weather is gone. Plant them about 1 inch deep and cover them in soil. In February, they pop up out of the ground looking like flowering bulbs (crocuses). Water them every couple of days and by about May time, you should have a brand new garlic bulb from your one clove of garlic! For the record, I live in Idaho.

I love it in dishes. I have never really tried eating it by itself though. Since it has many health benefits I am looking into trying it.

I love garlic but can't eat it alone.  I needs to be in food.  I only have it alone when i have a strep throat....it seems to make it better by next day

Garlic is medicinal. Garlic makes things taste good. I'm a huge fan.  :thumbsup:

Don't like the smell on one's breath it creates, though. :dog: That seems to be its only unsatisfactory trait.  :P

Thanks for the garlic growing tip, Penwoir. That's good to know!

I do. Last year I got a really bad cyst that they say will eventually come back. While researching home remedies to help with that I ran across the many health benefits of garlic. I try to eat a clove a few times a week to help with the cyst and for all the other health benefits.

Use it to cook a lot, we go thru a lot of garlic powder too.  It is my seasoning of choice on veggies, a touch of garlic salt and a good sprinkle of garlic powder.  Guess it is the Italian side of the family coming out!

We use lots of garlic in our cooking. Love to stuff garlic cloves into the sides of a nice eye roast of beef, smother it in Kosher salt and bake it to perfection served with baked potatoes and a nice salad and fresh broccoli on the side. Yummy!
