Recently, a study by the College of Food Science and Biotechnology of Gyeongbuk National University in South Korea found that germinated garlic is more beneficial to heart health and contains more antioxidant components than fresh garlic. Garlic germinated for 5 days has stronger antioxidant activity than fresh garlic.
Germinated garlic has stronger antioxidant capacity and higher anti-cancer and anti-radiation effects. The researchers found through experiments that the antioxidant activity of garlic germinated for five days is stronger than that of fresh garlic.
Germinated garlic is rich in antioxidant element selenium, which has a strong antioxidant effect, can reduce the damage of free radicals, and has certain anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. Garlic, as the recognized "king of cancer", has even better antioxidant effect than ginseng, and can also improve the human body's ability to resist radiation.
One-headed garlic is more anticancer. One-headed garlic is actually a garlic bulb with insufficient nutrition and poor development, which can't produce multiple petals. Its unique spicy taste has certain medicinal value, and its anti-cancer effect is higher than that of common split garlic.
Purple garlic is more bacteriostatic than white garlic. Garlic can be divided into white garlic, purple garlic and black garlic according to the color of the skin, among which white garlic and purple garlic are more common. Compared with white garlic, purple garlic tastes more spicy, with higher content of allicin, an active ingredient, and more obvious antibacterial effect.
