Garlic is ubiquitous in some of the nation’s favourite dishes, from curries and stir fries to hummus and aioli. It’s no surprise given that adding a clove or two can do wonders for the flavour of your food, not to mention the fact that garlic is also well known for having health benefits, including the ability to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
