I grew my own garlic for the first time last year and what a difference from store-bought. Going to plant again soon as it is mid-October and time for it to get into the ground for the winter

It is very healthy, very good for us but we don't eat it because of the smell. We should, however, include it in our food because, when it's properly blended in food, it doesn't smell. As for eating it raw - each to their own. I won't go near anyone who does.
