    There are about 12 (about 5000 grams) pounds of quality garlic in the root cellar from the garden. It was decided to reap some of the touted benefits of garlic by ingesting 25 grams (~two cloves) per day. Garlic must be crushed and left for about 15 minutes for the necessary chemical conversions to take place before ingesting raw. The garlic was minced and crushed in a OXO chopper.To consume the raw crushed garlic it was mixed with some kefir grains, some honey, and a piece of buttered bread. The mixture was spicy hot but tolerable. Pictures depict the operation.

    This may be an improvement for ingesting raw garlic gleaned from various postings on the internet.

    Most people find consuming raw garlic to be unpleasant simply to ingest let alone the inherent odor from consumption. For consumption infusing the crushed garlic with honey makes the ingredient more palatable. Procedure is to crush the garlic, let sit for a minimum of 15 minutes for the allicin to activate, then infuse with honey. Let sit at room temperature for 4 days then refrigerate. A serving is about two tablespoons or 30 grams daily.
