Garlic is suitable for raw food. Garlic is not only afraid of heat, but also of salt, which will lose its function. Therefore, if you want to achieve the best health care effect, it is best to mash garlic instead of cutting it into minced garlic with a knife. And leave it for 10- 15 minutes to allow alliin and alliinase to combine in the air to generate allicin before eating.
Allicin has a strong bactericidal effect. After it enters the human body, it can react with cystine of bacteria to produce crystal precipitation, which destroys SH groups in thioamino organisms necessary for bacteria, making bacteria metabolize disorder and unable to reproduce and grow.
