The Take

Garlic is healthy. It is the single-ingredient bulb that every real cuisine used for centuries before processed junk took over.

Buy it whole, smash it, and cook it with animal fat. The flavor compounds that clear rooms also deliver the benefits your ancestors already knew.

The Verdict

This is the original flavor weapon. It signals you cook real food instead of heating up marketing.

Buy fresh bulbs and roast them alongside steak or stir them into broth.
