3. Not Crushing or Chopping Garlic Properly
Garlic’s health benefits are maximized when it’s crushed or chopped, as this releases allicin, a compound with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Tip:
- Crush or Chop Before Use: Crush or chop garlic and let it sit for about 10 minutes before cooking. This allows the allicin to develop fully, enhancing both flavor and health benefits.
4. Storing Garlic Incorrectly
Improper storage can cause garlic to sprout or become moldy, leading to waste and a less desirable flavor.
Tip:
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep garlic in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as this can cause it to sprout.
5. Using Garlic Powder as a Substitute for Fresh Garlic
While garlic powder can be a convenient substitute, it doesn’t provide the same depth of flavor or health benefits as fresh garlic.
Tip:
- Use Fresh Whenever Possible: For the best flavor and health benefits, use fresh garlic. If you must use garlic powder, adjust the quantity as it’s more concentrated than fresh garlic.
