Stop Overcooking It!

Burning garlic isn’t just bad for taste—it destroys nutrients too. Keep the heat low and cook it gently.

Whole Garlic Won’t Work

Swallowing whole cloves skips garlic’s magic. Chop or crush it first, then let it sit for 10 minutes. 

Pre-Peeled Garlic? Nope!

Those convenient pre-peeled packs lose flavor and nutrients fast. Stick with fresh, unpeeled garlic.

Always Wash First

Even garlic can be dirty! A quick rinse keeps your meals clean and healthy.

Don’t Store Garlic Wrong

The fridge is garlic’s enemy. Store it in a cool, dry place for long-lasting freshness. 

Let It Rest

Crushed garlic needs a moment to “wake up” its health-boosting compounds. Be patient—it’s worth it!

Medication Matter

Garlic and some meds (like blood thinners) don’t mix well. If you’re on medication, check with your doctor.

Choose the Best Garlic

Soft, sprouting bulbs? No thanks! Fresh, firm cloves pack the most punch for your health.
