One should be aware while buying garlic from the market. Here are three easy ways to detect fake garlic from real ones.

Fake garlic makes its way to Indian markets. 3 tips to identify

<h2>One should be aware while buying garlic from the market. Here are three easy ways to detect fake garlic from real ones.</h2>

After fake paneer, butter and ORS, now markets are being bombarded with fake garlic. This comes after garlic prices surged from Rs 300 to Rs 350 per kg. The incident was reported by Subhash Patil, a retired police officer&rsquo;s wife in Maharashtra. She told Zee 24 Taas how she bought 250 grams garlic from a local vendor, but it turned out to be made from cement when she tried peeling it.&nbsp;
One should be aware while buying garlic from the market. Here are three easy ways to detect fake garlic from real ones.
<h3>How to detect fake garlic?</h3>
Check visually
When buying garlic, make sure you check it properly. Real garlic has irregularly shaped cloves with a thin, papery skin that peels easily. On the other hand, fake garlic has smooth cloves, and thicker skin that is hard to remove.
Smell your garlic
Before buying check the garlic smell. Real garlic has a strong, pungent odour whereas fake garlic lacks the smell and characteristic scent.
The float test
Real garlic feels dense and firm, and when placed in water, it sinks&mdash;unlike fake garlic, which may float due to its synthetic composition.
<h3>Health effects of eating fake garlic</h3>
Consuming fake garlic can cause many health risks as it contains synthetic materials or harmful chemicals that can lead to digestive issues, allergic reactions, or long-term toxicity.&nbsp;
Having fake garlic also means that you are missing out on the natural health benefits of real garlic, like its immune-boosting properties and cardiovascular benefits.

Crushed, minced or whole? What is the right way to cut garlic to extract maximum flavour

Garlic is a magic ingredient for many dishes. Today, let's learn if mincing, chopping or eating garlic whole is a better idea, if you want maximum flavours. Read on!

Garlic is an absolute necessity in most Indian households. Be it a chicken curry or a paratha, garlic enhances everything and anything. You can make breads, curries, maggi and even pizza with garlic. However, do you know the correct way to cut garlic to get maximum flavours? Let's learn!
To Crush, Mince Or Keep It Whole?
Garlic contains an allicin compound, responsible for its distinctive aroma and taste and it is this compound that decides the taste and flavour of the garlic. According to reports, the finer you mince or crush the garlic, the more allicin is produced and hence stronger the flavour. Letting garlic sit for a few minutes after chopping and before cooking can maximise its health benefits.
While raw garlic is great for salads, dressings, and dip, chopped or sliced garlic gives a milder flavour. It is usually used in stir-fries, saut&eacute;s and as a base for many dishes. On the other hand, minced garlic adds a more concentrated flavour and is a great addition to pastas and pizzas.
Crushed garlic is usually releases its essential oils and hence it used in massages. You can also roast your garlic to give it a soft and sweet mellow flavours. Roasted garlic is usually added to mashed potatoes, spreads, or as a topping for bread.

Most of us throw away the peels of garlic after peeling them off the cloves. However, let us tell you that these peels are full of antioxidants and can be used to make this flavorful zero waste seasoning which can be used in cooking and garnishing.
Shared by Instagram page, eatinghealthytoday, it is an easy to make recipe and a sustainable touch to your kitchen. Here&rsquo;s how to make it.&nbsp;

<h3>5 health benefits of garlic peels</h3>
Antioxidant Properties: Garlic peels, like the cloves, contain antioxidants that may help combat oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants can neutralize harmful free radicals and contribute to overall cellular health.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Garlic, including its peels, contains compounds with potential anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues, so consuming foods with anti-inflammatory effects may be beneficial.
Heart Health: Some studies suggest that garlic may have a positive impact on cardiovascular health by helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. While much of this research focuses on garlic cloves, it's possible that the peels also contribute to these effects.
Immune System Support: Garlic is known for its immune-boosting properties. Allicin, a compound found in garlic, is credited with having antimicrobial and immune-stimulating effects. While much of this is associated with the garlic bulb, some of these properties may extend to the peels.
Digestive Health: Garlic may have prebiotic effects, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. A healthy gut microbiota is associated with various aspects of well-being, including digestion and immune function. The peels, being a part of the garlic, may contribute to these effects.
It's essential to note that while garlic peels may offer some health benefits, the majority of scientific research has focused on the whole garlic bulb or its cloves. Additionally, individual responses to garlic can vary, and excessive consumption may lead to side effects in some individuals. As always, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, especially if you have specific health concerns or conditions.

Garlic prices surge amid dwindling supplies: Double in six weeks

The present retail scene displays a diverse price spectrum for garlic, ranging from ₹180 to ₹300 per kilogram, reflecting different qualities in various markets. Wholesale rates fluctuate between ₹150 and ₹260 per kilogram, further burdening consumers.

The present retail scene displays a diverse price spectrum for garlic, ranging from ₹180 to ₹300 per kilogram, reflecting different qualities in various markets. Wholesale rates fluctuate between ₹150 and ₹260 per kilogram, further burdening consumers.

Consumers are feeling the pinch as garlic prices have skyrocketed, reaching an all-time high in the last six weeks. Surpassing ₹250/kg in retail markets across the nation, this steep surge has rattled household budgets. Wholesale rates are averaging between ₹130-140/kg, while premium quality garlic commands a steep ₹220-250/kg in wholesale mandis, reported Economic Times.
The escalation in prices during December is not unusual, attributed to dwindling stored stocks. "Every year, garlic prices rise during this period due to limited supplies," remarked Vilas Bhujbal, wholesale trader from Pune APMC to ET.
The current retail landscape witnesses a broad range of prices from ₹180-300/kg for varying garlic qualities across different markets. Wholesale prices oscillate between ₹150-260/kg, adding pressure on consumers already grappling with inflated costs.
Adding to farmers' woes is the recent ban on onion exports, intensifying unrest within the farming community. This abrupt halt in exports comes at a challenging time for farmers, grappling with the aftermath of droughts and untimely rainfall.&nbsp;
The government's decision to curtail onion exports from December 8 aimed to stabilize soaring prices caused by untimely rainfall in November. Previously, prices had surged above ₹45/kg in certain markets due to robust exports to neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Nepal.
Consequently, the ban swiftly impacted onion prices, causing a sharp decline from ₹35/kg to ₹25/kg at the Lasalgaon market, with several other markets in Nashik following suit. However, other markets in Maharashtra stood resilient, with wholesale prices ranging between ₹25/kg to ₹45/kg on Sunday, reported ET.
With garlic prices hitting unprecedented highs and onion markets experiencing volatility, consumers brace themselves for continued fluctuations in essential kitchen staples.

Congress legislators on Tuesday dumped loads of garlic at a gate of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly on the opening day of the monsoon session, accusing the state BJP government of being apathetic towards farmers who were not getting adequate prices for their crops.
Some videos had surfaced in the last few days on social media showing farmers throwing sacks full of garlic on roads and in rivers and drains in Madhya Pradesh, apparently after getting low prices for their produce.
One of the farmers had claimed they were being offered just Re one per kg for their garlic produce.
On the first day of the MP Assembly's monsoon session on Tuesday, Congress MLAs Sachin Yadav, Jitu Patwari, Kunal Choudhary, P C Sharma and others carried bags full of garlic on their shoulders and dumped key kitchen staple in front of gate number 3 of the Assembly.
“The farmers are not getting even the input cost of their garlic produce. They are forced to sell it at just Re one per kg and therefore, have been throwing the produce in rivers and mandis in protest,” Yadav told reporters.
The government is talking about doubling the income of farmers, but the fact is that they are not even getting the input cost, he claimed.
The rising prices of fertilisers, seeds and diesel have already hit the farmers hard and now they are not even getting input cost of their produce, he added.
Yadav demanded that the government immediately address the problems of farmers by implementing the 'Bhavantar Yojna' (compensating difference in the cost of production and market price).
The opposition legislators, while proceeding towards the entrance gate, raised slogans like "Kisano ke samman me, Congress maidan me”, to express their support to farmers.
They also alleged that the ruling BJP "bought" legislators but was apathetic towards farmers and did not have money to buy the garlic cultivated by them.
Two years ago, 22 Congress MLAs had resigned, which led to the fall of the Kamal Nath-led Congress government in Madhya Pradesh.
The BJP later came to power in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Recently, a number of videos emerged in which farmers were seen dumping garlic on roads and in rivers and drains, specially in MP's Malwa and Nimar regions which are the major garlic producing areas.
One such farmer, Vikas Sisodia, had claimed he was getting just Re 1 per kg for his garlic crop in Indore market and hence, he considered it appropriate to dump the produce in a drain near his village.
Sisodia had claimed he suffered a loss of Rs 3 lakh in cultivating garlic this year.

Garlic Health Benefits: Garlic has several health benefits, and it must be an integral part of your diet

Garlic may leave a bad odour but is&nbsp;a&nbsp;good source of magnesium, selenium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. It is used not just for its flavour&nbsp;but also for its several health benefits.

Not only can it scare Vampires, Garlic has some other superpowers as well!

Garlic may leave a bad odour but is&nbsp;a&nbsp;good source of magnesium, selenium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. It is used not just for its flavour&nbsp;but also for its several noteworthy benefits

The bad odour that comes from garlic is a big reason why several people keep it out of their diets. The smell tends to seep into your mouth and might require a round or two of brushing and mouthwash to get rid of.
While these tiny cloves may come with a smell that can linger for hours, they also come with several noteworthy benefits which will go a long way in keeping you healthy. So, forget the pungent odour and focus on the benefits!
Garlic is known to be a good source of magnesium, selenium, calcium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. The presence of all these vital vitamins and minerals makes it beneficial for your health.
Garlic has anti-bacterial properties:
Apart from vitamins and minerals, garlic contains&nbsp;allicin, a sulphur-containing compound. This gives it a strong and pungent aroma but also makes it a fantastic antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial agent.
Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties:
As per an article by the Cleveland Clinic, garlic oil has anti-inflammatory properties. All you need to do is gently rub it over your sore and inflamed joints or muscles to reap the benefits.
Garlic is good for the heart:
As highlighted in a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, US (NCBI) there is literature that suggests that garlic consumption can help attain positive cardiovascular effects. Garlic can help lower blood pressure and reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
Garlic helps get rid of pimples:
Yes, you have heard it right! As per the Cleveland Clinic, rubbing raw garlic over pimples can potentially help get rid of them. However, we do recommend consulting with a dermatologist&nbsp;before trying this remedy.&nbsp;
Knowing all these benefits might make you want to gulp down an entire bulb of garlic, but be wary as an excess of anything is not great. According to a study in the American Family Physician Journal, consuming garlic in excess can lead to flatulence and gastrointestinal issues. It is recommended that you take no more than 1-2 cloves of raw garlic and 7.2 grams of aged garlic extract per day.
