I love it in mashed potatoes but it goes into a whole lot of what I make. I turn some into a paste to make it easier to incorporate into certain recipes.

I even swallow small, bruised cloves whole as a nutritional supplement. My grandfather used to chew up a couple of BIG cloves, every morning. He lived to 97. I'm convinced the only reason he died, then, was he was just ready to go.

I'd like to try and grow black garlic Siwsan Jul 2022 #12

Duh! I saw a picture of a bulb cut, exposing black cloves. Didn't realize it was baked. Siwsan Jul 2022 #16
