Garlic (16 Viewers)

There have been documentaries on Chinese garlic. They reportedly use prison labour to peel a lot of the garlic under ... pretty dodgy conditions.



There is a Netflix documentary called, I think, "Garlic Breath", which also covered this. Prisoners have their nails ruined, then use their teeth to peel garlic and so on. Standards of hygiene clearly questionable.

Key point from all the above: don't buy peeled garlic.

Haven’t bought garlic for a few years - grow my own elephant garlic (200 heads this year) and the shortest distance to my kitchen is 2 yards

I'm not touching any vegetables or garden grown produce that weren't in England in the 50's.

I have to say, I love the odd Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney pie, but that pesky garlic gets itself into everything

Garlic has a wonderful compound called allicin, it’s an antiseptic, antioxidant and a cancer preventing superfood.

Garlic is a flavour enhancer . Present in lots of food that people , who hate garlic , love

A friend who is garlic intolerant, told me that as garlic has anti bacterial properties, it is often added not just for taste but to help preserve whatever it is added to.
