Did you know the US alone produces 400 million pounds of garlic annually? Probably not, because all you think about is yourself!

The top 5 garlic-producing countries per year:
1. China - 21,000,000 tons
2. India - 3,200,000 tons
3. Bangladesh - 525,000 tons
4. Egypt - 395,000 tons
5. Spain - 280,000 tons

Look at that garlic production!

Look at all these countries/regions where garlic is a staple in the cuisine:
- Chinese
- Korean
- Japanese
- Mediterranean (Greek, Lebanese, Turkish)
- Italian
- Indian
- Middle Eastern
- Latin American

THAT'S WHERE ALL THE GOOD FOOD COMES FROM!

Garlic makes like better, it enhances it

Yes, and now i found out about sealing in a jar for storage makes it better.

Garlic always was my friend. Eat a clove or two raw every week. Plus whatever i cook with, and then double if I'm sick. Garlic bread looks like a lot of fun. Regular bread too

Roast whole garlic and steaks are a very winning combination that not enough people talk about.

I used to go to the Garlic festival 15 min north of me here in CA. The garlic ice cream was great. They had a lot of great garlic dishes
