Garlic has a clustered bulb made up of several bulblets (cloves) enclosed in a papery tunic. It has a single stem with long, thin leaves and an ubmel of edible, rose-tinted white summer flowers and a bulb whose flavour increases the more it is sliced or crushed. Cooking with fresh ginger prevents the slight nausea some experience with Garlic. Garlic repels insects and can be applied to their bites and stings. The cloves add flavour to savoury dishes, especially in hot countries where the plants develop the best flavour. Garlic purifies the blood, helps control acne, and reduces blood pressure, cholesterol, and clotting.
