Description: Organic Purple Italian Hardneck Garlic Bulbs Plant/Cook 1/2lbs - 10lbs The Purple Italian Garlic is a classic hardneck variety that is a favorite among chefs, as its large cloves are easy to peel! This variety is perfect for planting in northern climates for a delicious summer harvest. This garlic has a sweet and delicate mild flavor that tastes great in salsas and Mediterranean dishes. The Purple Italian is a deep purple-skinned variety that produces 8-12 cloves per bulb. For the roasted garlic, it is roasted in extra virgin olive oil. Garlic Sprouts have amazing anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties, as well as an ability to boost the immune system. Their flavour is milder than raw garlic cloves, making them a perfect addition to salads, wraps, or as a baked potato topping.Scientists are reporting in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that this type of garlic has even more heart-healthy antioxidant activity than its fresher counterparts. Sprouted garlic can also be planted and grown, just as its younger counterparts. Here are some health benefits of sprouted garlic. Can fight against cancer: The process of sprouting in garlic stimulates the production of phytochemicals that have amazing properties like the ability to block the further spread of malignant cancer cells and inhibit the activity of carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals) on the body. Apart from that, garlic also produces a large amount of antioxidants that are very useful in scavenging free oxygen radicals, one of the main reasons for the formation of cancers. Protects your heart: The same way that phytochemicals block the activity of carcinogens, they also boost enzyme activity and block the activities that lead to plaque formation, an important factor in the formation of blockages in the heart. This thereby helps protect you from suffering from heart disease and heart attacks. Can prevent strokes: Garlic on its own is a rich source of ajoene, a substance that prevents the formation of blood clots. It also is packed with nitrites a compound that helps dilate (or widen) the arteries. Both these activities in tandem help prevent the onset of strokes (a condition caused by the formation of a blood clot in the blood vessels of the brain). How is sprouted garlic better in preventing strokes you ask? Well during sprouting the amount of phytochemicals present in the garlic pods helps not only enhance the activity of the already present chemicals in garlic but it also blocks the activity of blood clot forming chemicals making it a better agent against strokes. Helps prevent wrinkles and premature aging: We all know that antioxidants help prevent premature aging by scavenging free radicals in our body, the leading cause of aging in our body. But according to the study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, garlic pods sprouted for five days have the highest antioxidant activity making them an elixir for your body. Not only will it prevent the appearance of wrinkles but also has the potential to stop the deterioration of organs (something that takes place as we age). Strengthens your immune system: If you suffer from frequent cold and cough or infections its time you ate some sprouted garlic. That is because sprouted garlic, especially those that have been sprouted for five days, gives your body a strong dose of antioxidants. These antioxidants in turn strengthen your immune system by protecting the very cells that kill off infections. So, if you want to stay healthy all year round, here is your chance to load up on sprouted garlic.
