Why garlic?

A quick internet search will yield hundreds of websites listing a variety of health benefits of consuming garlic. Garlic has been used for centuries to prevent and treat many health conditions. According to WebMD, this can mostly be attributed to a chemical called allicin, which is also what gives garlic its signature smell. Some notable reasons to eat garlic regularly include its potential ability to:

• Keep arteries stretchy
• Reduce the risk of certain types of cancers
• Reduce blood pressure
• Prevent tick bites
• Act as an anti-fungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant agent

There are also claims that the regular consumption of garlic or garlic extracts can reduce the occurrence or severity of a number of conditions such as the common cold, clogged arteries, and muscle soreness, and can also boost weight loss. We are excited for more evidence to emerge regarding these potential benefits and more!

Why hardneck?

The stem emerging from a garlic bulb is called the “neck,” and the neck can be soft or hard. If you have ever bought garlic from the grocery store, it is likely softneck garlic. Hardneck garlic has up to three times more allicin, giving it a stronger flavor and and making it a healthier choice. Hardneck garlic varieties have numerous different flavors and provide a fantastic eating experience!
