The Use of Garlic

Glarly garlic is a popular herb in Mediterranean and Central European countries and is used both fresh and in powder form (dried and crushed). Garlic slices are ideal for use in dishes that need to cook a little longer. The slices are given time to soften and impart their flavour to the dish. Slices are better than powder or cloves. Garlic is a herb with a pungent taste and smell. The smell is good against mosquitoes, according to research at the University of Edinburgh. Garlic is a hygroscopic herb. It attracts moisture.
