Fun Fact

Here's a little ditty I found out today about one of my favorite ingredients... GARLIC. The health benefits of garlic depend on its contact with oxygen. Thiosulfinates are good for your heart, they help prevent the build up of blood platelets in your arteries. Thiosulfinates develop when the inside of the garlic clove is exposed to air. So, if you want to boost your thiosulfinate intake, finely mince your garlic and then set it aside (covered so it won't dry out) to give time for the thiosulfinates to develop. Grinding on your microplane would be even better!
