Garlic (Allium satium) is belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family. It is the oldest known horticultural crop and the second most important bulb crop after onion. Historical records suggest that garlic has been cultivated for at least 5000 years ago and was found in ancient China, India and Egypt. Garlic plants can grow about 2 feet tall, long leaves typically arise from a short hard stem above the bulb or emerge from a softer pseudostem made up of overlapping leaf sheaths.
Garlic powder bulb is covered with multiple edible small bulbs or bulblets called cloves. There are about 10 to 20 cloves in a single bulb. Garlic has been long recognized by the world as a valuable spice. Its powerful smell and pungent taste make it one of the favourite spices of many chefs. People use it as a seasoning and condiment when cooking. It can used for flavouring salad dressing, gravies, spaghetti, chutney, curried dishes and more. Garlic powder may be applied to bakery goods, creating classical garlic toast or garlic bread. Moreover, garlic is not only used as a culinary item but also an important spice crop used to prevent or cure various diseases.

Garlic is good for people with hypertension. Garlic’s chemical compound, allicin may prevent the formation of angiotensin II, a compound that is responsible for increasing blood pressure by causing the vessels to tighten up and contract. By reducing angiotensin II, the blood can flow freely, thereby reducing blood pressure. Using garlic in a daily diet can help manage cholesterol levels as allicin in garlic showed a favourable effect on blood cholesterol. It brings down the bad cholesterol and raises the good cholesterol, hence lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Garlic can keep the digestive system strong and healthy because it has powerful dietary fiber, iron and an organic compound. People suffering from indigestion or constipation can relieve the symptoms by eating garlic.

Arteries play an important role in pumping blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
