- History of Garlic:
- Garlic has been used in food and medicine for thousands of years. Archaeologists discovered clay sculptures in the shape of garlic bulbs in an Egyptian tomb dating back to 3200 BC. An Egyptian papyrus that dates back to 1500 BC recommends garlic in treating 22 ailments to include heart disease, stamina, and tumors. Greek military leaders fed garlic to their troops before combat, Greek athletes took garlic to increase performance, ancient Transylvanians used garlic as a mosquito repellent, and King Tutankhamen was sent into the afterlife with garlic. Garlic was used to battle the plague and during World War I and World War II, when penicillin was scarce, used to prevent infection and gangrene in soldier’s wounds.
