What Should I Do With My Sprouting Garlic?

Many of us like to cook, and eating garlic seems to go hand in hand with healthy living. Unless you buy it in small quantities at the farmer’s market every week, you end up getting several cloves all at once. If you don’t use it for a little while, or if it’s old when you purchase it, then you’ll eventually begin to see green shoots sprouting out of the tops of some of the cloves. So what does sprouting garlic mean?

What to Make of Sprouting Garlic

Sprouts tend to be good for you to eat – alfalfa sprouts, bean sprouts and onion sprouts all have plenty of health benefits. But what about garlic.

Eating Raw: Re-hydrating Nuts

Eating raw is not as difficult or as complicated as one might imagine. Greens, nuts and fruits all make for quick and easy snacks.

Not everyone’s digestion is the same, however, and eating dried fruits can be difficult for some.

Likewise, mixing dried fruits and nuts in the same snack time can spell troubles for some snackers. When the fruits have been dehydrated, they lose all of their water content, which then has to be re-supplied by your body. This can be distressing, often producing an upset stomach or trouble with digestion.

Re-hydrating Fruits

Re-hydrating fruits and nuts can be the answer for such troubles. Soaking dried fruit in filtered water for a period of time can reinvigorate the fruits, making them more easily digestible in the process. Further, [Read more →]
