I love garlic; usually for my breakfast I will spread my bread with butter, sprinkle chopped garlic and grated Mozzarella cheese on it before toasting the bread. I also use a lot of garlic in my daily cooking. And one of the dishes that I use lots of garlic is Fried Garlic Rice. My husband will eat raw chopped garlic with his meals at times. This is because through our readings we believe that garlic contains compounds with potent medicinal properties.
