It's a hot one this week. garlic is one of the most highly regarded medicinal vegetables in the plant kingdom, throughout multiple difference historical civilisations. From the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, Japanese and Romans. We explore the different medicinal uses throughout the history of this extraordinary vegetable and move into current times to research what science has discovered about the nutritional benefits of Garlic.  This process allows us to see how close the ancient minds were to real science and whether they were on the right track!

We also talk about the best ways to cook with garlic and some of our favourite recipes. Together with the most important piece of information, that most of us are unaware of. The way to maximise the nutrition of the garlic when cooking, without losing all its powerful healing qualities. 

Lastly, we tell you exactly how to grow your own garlic, from your vegetable garden or even from a pot on your balcony.
