Filipinos love their garlic that is why if you are observant you will notice that most of the Filipino dishes that I had posted here on my blog have lots of garlic on them. We so love our garlic we use fried garlic everywhere, when cooking, when garnishing, we even use it as a flavouring for our chips and peanuts.

Garlic is not just a very flavourful culinary item but it also have some medicinal use and health benefits that why when an oily dish is served in Philippines they put a lots of garlic to it because there’s a popular saying that this balances out the bad stuff. That belief is not just a saying but actually true and some claims are supported by scientific studies that garlic has been found to prevent heart disease and cancer. It also has some antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties to it, that why you see some food supplements that is made out of garlic oil.
