Garlic helps lower blood pressure. It can solve digestive problems and contributes to the flavour and aroma of many foods.
Garlic contains antioxidants that help protect against cell damage and ageing. It can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
If you want to grow garlic at home, there are some simple processes. It is discussed step by step below.
1. Take a plastic basket that is quite wide.
2. The basket should have holes in each corner to drain excess water.
3. It should be filled with soil mixture.
4. Scatter the garlic cloves leaving a space of three to five inches.
5. Like green garlic, it should be placed with a sharp end outwards. Sprinkle water regularly.
6. You can see the results of your hard work in less than a month. However, two to three months should be given for the garlic to be fully ready.
7. Wait until the leaves turn yellow before harvesting garlic. You can harvest when the leaves turn yellow.
Green garlic contains the antioxidant allicin, which acts as an active ingredient in lowering cholesterol and inflammation. It can prevent colds, coughs and flu. Antioxidants can boost immunity. You can use garlic leaves to make delicious green chutney mixed with coriander and mint at home.
It can also be used as a dip. If you plan to use a lot of green garlic, it is better to prepare them separately. If we pluck too many leaves from a tree, it may die or not produce healthy fruit. You can easily produce juice at home using the above process.
