The Elephant Garlic is a lot bigger and a little milder in taste. It can also be cooked and eaten by itself. Some of the types of foods that are more commonly known to use garlic are Italian, Chinese, and other Oriental cooking. Use of garlic can be traced all the way to Central Asia.

Not only is garlic used for cooking, it is also used in the garden. Used in the garden? What is meant by that? Well, a lot of organic gardeners use garlic to ward off many insects, because it's strong odor is a natural repellent. This is also why garlic was believed to have the power to ward off demons and vampires.

Even though their is a lot of promising research out there, it is not recommended you eat garlic cloves or start taking garlic supplements. More research needs to be done and there is little control over the garlic supplement market. When you buy garlic pills, there is no way to be sure if you are getting exactly what you are wanting. It is highly recommended that you consult your professional health care provider before taking garlic supplements.

If you are taking any sort of blood thinning medication or regularly take aspirin, consult with your health care professional before taking garlic supplements. Garlic has anticoagulant properties, basically meaning that it thins the blood.
