Garlic (Latin - Allium Sativum), also known as “poor man’s treacle”, is a perennial herb whose bulb is composed of small cloves, and is readily identifiable by its peculiar odour. The odour is due to the many different sulphur constituents found in the cloves. The use of garlic has been recorded since biblical times, and the oldest visible records of garlic’s existence were found in burial chambers of Egyptian tombs. European folklore gave garlic the ability to ward off the “evil eye”, and traditionally braids of garlic were attached to the entrance of homes to protect them from evil. There are more than 30 different compounds isolated from garlic, the primary components that provide health benefi ts are the sulphur constituents, which include allicin.
Like many other plants, garlic has an exquisite defence system, in order to protect itself from bacteria and fungi, it enzymatically produces allicin when it is injured. Studies indicate that, as a part of a healthy diet, garlic may help to support the cardiovascular and immune system. Vega garlic has a standardised allicin content and has been deodorised to reduce the strong odour normally associated with the herb.
