Hey Food Nerds!!

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!  That’s Right!  It’s GARLIC SEASON! 😉

If you love to cook and flavor with Garlic, this is the time of year (between September and January) where flavor is at its peak (Richer, Fuller and Sweeter)!

#FUNFACTS

  • Garlic is a part of the Allium genus of plants that contains over 500 species including onions, shallots and leeks.
  • It is originally native to grow in central Asia.
  • Their strong pungent smell was originally thought to be the plant’s defense mechanism to deter animals from eating them.
  • Studies have shown that aged garlic can decrease the severity of cold and flu symptoms https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22280901/
  • Want to get rid of the smell of garlic on your hands? Try rubbing your hands on a stainless steel object under cold water.

In this video, we show you how to chop, mince and even create a paste from garlic.  Enjoy!
