Garlic is an integral part of European and Asian cuisines. It is appreciated for its flavour, and the consumption of garlic is associated with a wide range of health benefits throughout history. For instance, records from Ancient Egypt suggest that pyramid builders were fed garlic to acquire extra power. In the Roman Empire, garlic was used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, asthma, madness, tumours and worms.
