Garlic is present in the folklore of many cultures. European folk beliefs considered garlic a powerful ward against evil eye, demons and vampires. To ward off vampires, garlic could be worn, hung in windows, or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes.<\/p>\n

Apart from… folklore, garlic is used as food flavoring, as it has a very nice spicy taste, and for medicinal purposes, as it is very good for our health! It can be eaten raw, grilled, boiled, in sauces, in salads, in pickles, but also in our favorite Greek… tzatziki (sauce with yoghurt, put in traditional dish of
\nsouvlaki).<\/p>\n

Its close relatives include onions, and shallots.<\/p>\n
