The 10 mistakes you absolutely must avoid when consuming garlic.

Use pre-cut garlic
When garlic is cut or crushed, it releases a strong odor and many beneficial organic sulfur compounds. However, garlic quickly loses its potency once cut, so it’s best to use whole, fresh cloves. Make sure the bulbs are firm and free of sprouts. Store dry garlic in a cool, dark, dry, and well-ventilated place.

Drink garlic tea
Garlic tea is often prepared by steeping garlic in boiling water. However, heat destroys allicin, making garlic tea less beneficial. Furthermore, there is no significant scientific evidence proving that garlic tea is effective against specific diseases. Claims regarding its benefits are often exaggerated.
