Sprouted garlic is a nutrition star, packing more vitamin C and fiber than fresh. Its sprouting makes phytochemicals that stop cancer cells, block cancer-causers, and zap free radicals. Research shows 5-day sprouted garlic has the best antioxidant power, way better than fresh.
Sprouted Garlic’s Health Wins:
- Tames blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Lowers heart disease and stroke odds.
- Fights osteoarthritis.
- Guards against 14 cancers, like prostate and lung.
- Boosts immunity and battles bad germs.
While sprouted garlic rocks in antioxidants, fresh garlic’s got value for its allicin that fights viruses, fungi, and bacteria.
Growing Garlic Sprouts:
- Damp Cloth: Set garlic bulbs on damp cloth, roots down. Keep it damp.
- Water Jar: Dunk garlic roots a bit in water.
After five days, grab the sprouts and add flavor and health to your eats. Using both sprouted and fresh garlic is great for your health.
