Garlic can be eaten raw or seasoned.

How to eat garlic

Step 1: Eat raw

According to the investigation, the content of allicin is the highest when garlic is raw, and allicin will decompose with the increase of temperature. Therefore, when eating garlic, frying and frying will destroy most of the allicin in garlic, resulting in the loss of nutrition. Crushing garlic and exposing it to the air for ten minutes will help to synthesize allicin.

So when eating garlic, it's best to crush it before eating.
