Kashmiri Snow Mountain Garlic can be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place to avoid spoilage. Place the clove on your cutting board. Place the flat part of a wide knife over it, pressing down with firm but gentle pressure (if you want to avoid squashing the clove entirely). Tamura K, Stecher G, Peterson D, Filipski A, Kumar S.

Snow Mountain Garlic , also known as Kashmiri Lehsun , is the most purified form of garlic. It is an aboriginal plant of Jammu and Kashmir. It has numerous health benefits and is being used widely for almost every disease. This is hard to do, and, as you can see in the image, I turned to a ‘scalpel’ type of blade – which arguably not everyone has just lying around. In fact, it seems to rely on careful knife skills, placement of fingers, and specific twists/motions.Fights cough and cold: The Allinase and Alliin in snow mountain garlic help create a strong and potent compound called Allicin that helps the body fight bacteria-driven illnesses.

Allow them to soak for about 1 minute, and then remove the peels. At this point, they should come off very easily. It’s similar to blanching almonds, where the skin will steam and loosen in the water and slip away. The benefits of Kashmiri Garlic go beyond digestion and stress reduction. Those with high blood sugar levels consume it to keep diabetes at bay. The presence of Allicin, Vitamin B and Thiamine signal the pancreas to pump insulin into the body which regulates our blood sugar level. Schwimmer S.

You can, optionally, then trim the root end and tip of each clove before trying each method. However, this isn’t necessary for the majority of methods. Method 1: The Traditional Knife Method Bad Breath and Body Odor: Consuming large quantities of garlic can lead to bad breath and a noticeable body odor. To mitigate this, try consuming parsley, mint, or lemon water alongside your garlic intake. The female Wistar rats were immunized by the subplannter injection of CFA into the right hind footpad. Aqueous extracts of SMG and normal garlic were administered orally at a dose of 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg for 28 days. Dexamethasone was used as positive control drug. Behavioral parameters including paw markers, arthritis index, joint stiffness, body weight change, etc. were measured. Also, the changes in histopathological indices, hematological profile, inflammatory mediators, and serum cytokines level was determined. Blood Thinning: Garlic has natural blood-thinning properties, which can interfere with anticoagulant medications or increase the risk of bleeding if consumed in large quantities. Consult your doctor if you are on blood-thinning medications before increasing your garlic intake. Top Tip: I would suggest avoiding plastic containers, though, as the garlic flavor can become infused in the plastic and will be difficult to remove.
