Five Weird Abilities Of Garlic

Highly valued in the world of culinary successes, garlic has some sides to it that is just amazing.

The first thing you need to know is, even though is used as a flavouring ingredient, it is not a spice following that spice specifically takes a dried form. One could, however, call it a vegetable seeing its similarity to onions or shallot, although it does belong to a category of its own.

More so, do not break the head of garlic. A whole garlic bulb will keep fresh from two weeks to two months, depending on its age and variety. However, the shelf life of garlic is reduced to just a few days once you break the head.

Some of the weird abilities include:
