Eat delicious garlic and lower your blood pressure at the same time

This isn't a recipe but a reminder that working garlic into your diet on a regular basis can have more benefits than just tasting great.

Garlic has been shown to be effective in some studies in lowering mild to moderate high blood pressure. It's not voodoo superstition but science, as the allicin in garlic produces sulfur compounds that interact with the body, meaning garlic may lower high blood pressure for some people.

Not that you need another reason to eat more garlic but there you go!

Pop it into the oven or on the grill...the end result every time is perfectly roasted garlic with a minimum of fuss and muss.

Garlic and cholesterol

Garlic has long been used in Indian kitchens to pep up spicy dishes; our ancestors appear to have known a lot about its medicinal value. Research now shows that garlic reduces LDL cholesterol, prevents a rise of blood pressure and also avoids the deposition of plaque on the walls of arteries, reducing chances of heart attack and stroke. Garlic contains sulphurous compounds that act as antioxidants and also help with expansion of the blood vessels, keeping blood pressure at a normal level.

Scape soup

Garlic scapes are typically picked off of garlic plants each year -- it's the flower stem that grows -- to make sure garlic heads are big and plump but scapes can be used in many different recipes.

This garlic scape soup recipe is a popular way to cook with scapes, especially if you have a lot on your hands and want to use them up while they're still fresh and tasty.
