GARLIC CHUTNEY

For your Knowledge....

The smell of garlic is caused by allicin (diallyldisulfide-S-oxide), which is derived from precursors such as alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide) by the enzyme alliinase which is liberated when the clove is broken up. The active compound resembles the well known drug N-acetyl-L-cysteine (Mucomyst), which has mucolytic and antioxidant properties.

Garlic contains several potent antioxidants, and there is evidence that its addition to the diet may help reduce the incidence of gastric and colorectal cancers.

The chemicals in garlic can help reduce serum cholesterol, hypertension, blood clotting, blood sugar, bowel parasites, respiratory and other infections, and the aging process itself.


Hope you know that Garlic is an Enzyme trigger.Herbalists have prescribed garlic to treat infections, heart ailments, and other maladies since at least the Middle Ages. In the past few decades, scores of scientific studies have begun identifying solid mechanistic underpinnings for many such age-old claims -- and a few newer ones, such as the pungent bulb's potential for fighting cancer.

But some people don't like the raw smell of garlic. I assure that such people also will like this recipe .
