Garlic Guide: Nutrition Facts, Health Benefits, Cooking With It, and More

While often known for its addition to Italian foods, garlic seems to be used in virtually all cuisines as a strong flavoring agent. The bulbs are also sometimes used for medicinal purposes, to ease health conditions while preventing chronic health problems.

Learn more about the ins and outs of this popular spice, and see how it could fit into your own diet and lifestyle.

What Is Garlic, and Where Does It Come From?


Garlic (Allium sativum) is an age-old spice that’s made from a bulbous plant. But before it became the cooking staple it’s known as today, garlic had a rich history of cultivation, medicinal benefits, and consumption. It’s thought that garlic originated in India and Egypt around 5,000 years ago, and some historical documents suggest it was used in China about 4,000 years ago. The species of garlic found in this region are often referred to as “wild garlic” because of their indigenous nature. (1) Garlic was also mentioned in Biblical texts, as well as ancient Greek materials. (2)

Historically, garlic was used primarily for its medicinal components. In ancient civilizations, people used it in hopes of increasing their strength. Indeed, some historical documents note that ancient Greeks used garlic as a performance-enhancing boost for the Olympics. (2)

What’s particularly interesting about garlic is that it was concurrently used by different civilizations and cultures for similar benefits, all without contact between these cultures. (2) Still, the garlic grown in the United States isn’t like the “wild garlic” found in Asia and the Middle East. It most closely resembles the varieties first harvested in Europe nearly 1,000 years ago. (1) But garlic was also found to grow in the wild by indigenous civilizations in North America, where it was used in teas for medicinal purposes. (2) Garlic was introduced to Great Britain in 1548, (3) and the bulbs became popular in American culture by the late 19th century. (2)

Today, an estimated 10 million tons of garlic are produced worldwide. (1) While used as a food-flavoring agent, garlic is still considered as a “natural antibiotic” by many cultures. (3) In the 21st century, garlic continues to be a common seasoning in foods and packaged goods, but its potential medicinal properties are also gaining more appreciation in Western cultures.

What Are the Health Benefits of Eating Garlic? A Look at What Research Suggests

Historically, garlic was used for the following medicinal purposes: (3)

  • Appetite stimulant
  • Blood pressure regulator
  • Colic
  • Constipation
  • Cough
  • Depression
  • Diarrhea
  • Fever
  • Infections
  • Intestinal parasites
  • Menstrual symptom relief
  • Muscle pain relief
  • Rheumatism
  • Seasickness
  • Skin diseases
  • Strength-building
  • Wounds

Today, research supports some of these medicinal benefits, but most studies remain inconclusive overall. Research primarily supports garlic’s potential antibacterial benefits, as well as its ability to help control cholesterol-causing lipids in the blood. Garlic also has antioxidants, which may help prevent free radicals that contribute to chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer. (3)

Some of the most promising research on garlic’s health benefits pertains to cholesterol and high blood pressure. (5) But the research on these effects is limited. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health describes conflicting studies on the effects of garlic supplements on cholesterol. In some small studies, garlic supplements were shown to lower blood cholesterol within three months. In other studies, though, garlic had no effects on cholesterol whatsoever. (6,7)

While garlic may provide antioxidants that are shown to potentially help ward off certain types of cancer over time, such benefits are tied to eating garlic — garlic supplements don’t have the same effects. (5) Some of the most widely studied cancer effects from garlic include cancers of the colon, stomach, breast, esophagus, and pancreas.

Nevertheless, a meta-analysis from 2015 suggested that more research is needed to determine whether garlic and similar veggies, such as onions and leeks, can play a role in preventing cancer. Scientists also don’t know how much garlic people need to consume to see benefits. (8)

Another potential benefit of chewing on garlic is boosting heart health. This is compared with swallowing garlic or extracts that have not been chewed. (9)

Can Garlic Help You Lose Weight? A Glance at the Research Available

Some people tout garlic as a weight loss aid, too. But most of the studies on garlic’s effects on weight have been conducted on rodents, not humans, so more studies are needed.

One study found that garlic may help reduce body weight and fat accumulation in obese mice on a high-fat diet. (10) And another study, which involved rats with hypertension, high cholesterol, and high insulin levels that were being fed a diet with high fructose corn syrup, suggested that commercial garlic products helped promote weight loss. (11)

But a study of adults with obesity showed those who took a supplement that contained garlic, caffeine, ginger, and other herbs observed modest weight loss of 4.2 pounds, while those who took a placebo lost 0.9 pounds on average after eight weeks. It’s not clear whether the weight loss was attributed to any single ingredient, a combination of ingredients, or only lifestyle habits. (12)

Instead of relying on garlic as a weight loss tool, it’s best to follow tried-and-true weight loss methods that include a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. The American Heart Association recommends between 30 and 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per day if you’re looking to lose weight. (13)

Are There Any Side Effects or Health Risks to Eating Garlic?

For most people, it’s safe to eat garlic liberally. (5) But it’s also possible to have an allergy or sensitivity to these bulbs. Spice allergies aren’t as common as other food allergies, but you may be at a higher risk if you’re also allergic to birch pollen. If you have an allergy to garlic, you could also have allergies to other related spices. (16)

Signs of an allergic reaction to garlic may include hives, facial swelling, and breathing difficulties. A nonallergy food sensitivity to garlic may cause gas, bloating, and other gastrointestinal discomfort. (17)

Also, eating garlic or taking garlic supplements can cause the following side effects in some people: (5)

  • Heartburn
  • Bad breath
  • Burning sensations in your mouth and throat
  • Upset stomach
  • Body odor
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Ulcers

Chewing or eating raw garlic may increase such effects, as well as having garlic on an empty stomach. (8)

Eating garlic in moderation is unlikely to interfere with medication, but taking garlic supplements may. Garlic supplements may interfere with HIV drugs and anticoagulants because of an increased risk of bleeding. (5) Bleeding risks can also occur if you’re undergoing surgery. (8)

Take care when using garlic essential oils on your skin. These can cause eczema, burns, and irritation if used incorrectly. Also, do not ingest essential oils. (8)

What is garlic?

Garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, and is a hardy perennial belonging to the Liliaceae family. Other members of this family include onions, leeks, chives and shallots. They are distinguished by their pungent aroma and distinctive flavour.

The bulb is the most commonly used part of the garlic plant and is typically composed of eight to 20 individual teardrop-shaped cloves enclosed in a white, parchment-like skin.

Garlic health benefits may include:

1. Contains a compound called allicin, which has medicinal properties

2. Acts like an anticoagulant, so reduces the risk of heart attacks

3. May inhibit the growth of cancerous cells

4. Has been known for its antibacterial properties

5. May relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis

Nutritional profile of garlic

One clove (4g) of garlic provides:

  • 4Kcal / 16KJ
  • 0.3g protein
  • 0.0g fat
  • 0.7g carbohydrates
  • 0.2g fibre
  • 25mg Potassium

5 health benefits of garlic

1. Contains compounds with medicinal properties

Much of garlic’s therapeutic acclaim is down to an active compound called allicin. This sulphur-containing compound gives garlic its pungent smell and distinctive taste. Luckily for us cooks, the action of chopping or crushing stimulates the production of allicin. But, it is thought that the application of heat may inhibit some of the perceived medicinal properties, making it best to add garlic late in the cooking process.

2. May reduce the risk of heart attacks

Much research has focused on garlic’s potential in reducing the risk of heart disease and helping to manage cholesterol levels. Several studies suggest that garlic makes platelets (the cells involved in blood clotting) less likely to clump together and accumulate on artery walls; this means garlic acts like an anticoagulant and by so doing reduces the risk of heart attacks.

Garlic may also lower blood pressure through its ability to widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely.

3. May have anti-cancer properties

The sulphurous compounds in garlic have been studied for their ability to inhibit cancerous cells and block tumours. That said, much of the evidence for garlic in relation to colon, prostate, oesophageal and renal cancer is observational, with only small numbers of subjects included in the studies. As a result, the effect garlic has in relation to cancer remains uncertain and more studies are needed.

4. Has antimicrobial and antifungal properties

Garlic has a long history of use as an infection fighter against viruses, bacteria and fungi. It has been referred to as ‘Russian penicillin’ to denote its antibacterial properties, which is once again attributed to the compound allicin. Some skin conditions, such as warts and insect bites, may also respond to garlic oil or a crushed raw garlic clove.

5. May support bone health

Animal studies suggest garlic may minimise bone loss by increasing oestrogen levels in female rodents. A study in post-menopausal women found a similar effect when a daily dose of dry garlic extract (equivalent to 2g of raw garlic) was consumed.

Studies also suggest the consumption of garlic may give some relief from the inflammatory symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Health benefits of wild garlic

The health benefits of wild garlic and clove garlic are very similar. They both contain a variety of compounds with medicinal properties, including antibacterial and antifungal effects. But wild garlic has been found to have an even greater effect on lowering blood pressure than regular garlic.

Overall, is garlic good for you?

Garlic is well-known for it’s medicinal properties, thanks to a compound allicin, and has long been used to fight against bacteria. Eating garlic could help to keep your bones healthy, reduce the risk of heart attacks and lower blood pressure as it acts like an anticoagulant. While more studies are needed, it’s believed that garlic may even minimise growth of cancer cells.

Is garlic safe for everyone?

Garlic poses few safety issues and allergies are rare. If you take garlic supplements for cholesterol management, have your cholesterol levels checked after three months. The recommended daily amount of garlic ranges from ½-1 whole clove per day (around 3000-6000mcg of allicin).

Please note that some people may experience indigestion, intestinal gas or diarrhoea when taking high doses of garlic.

Garlic is rich in vitamins and minerals such as:
vitamin B5 – 11.9%, vitamin B6 – 30%, vitamin C – 11.1%, vitamin PP – 14%, calcium – 18%, phosphorus – 12.5%, cobalt – 90%, manganese – 40.5%, copper – 13% , molybdenum – 36.3%, selenium – 25.8%, chromium – 80%

  • Vitamin B5 is involved in protein, fat, carbohydrate metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, the synthesis of a number of hormones, hemoglobin, promotes the absorption of amino acids and sugars in the intestine, supports the function of the adrenal cortex. A lack of pantothenic acid can lead to damage to the skin and mucous membranes.
  • Vitamin B6 is involved in the maintenance of the immune response, the processes of inhibition and excitation in the central nervous system, in the transformation of amino acids, the metabolism of tryptophan, lipids and nucleic acids, contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, maintaining a normal level of homocysteine ​​in the blood. Insufficient intake of vitamin B6 is accompanied by a decrease in appetite, a violation of the condition of the skin, the development of homocysteinemia, anemia.
  • Vitamin C is involved in redox reactions, the functioning of the immune system, promotes the absorption of iron. Deficiency leads to friable and bleeding gums, nosebleeds due to increased permeability and fragility of blood capillaries.
  • Vitamin PP is involved in redox reactions of energy metabolism. Inadequate vitamin intake is accompanied by a violation of the normal state of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
  • Calcium is the main component of our bones, acts as a regulator of the nervous system, and participates in muscle contraction. Calcium deficiency leads to demineralization of the spine, pelvic bones and lower extremities, increases the risk of osteoporosis.
  • Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates acid-base balance, is part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, is necessary for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, rickets.
  • Cobalt is part of vitamin B12. Activates the enzymes of fatty acid metabolism and folic acid metabolism.
  • Manganese is involved in the formation of bone and connective tissue, is part of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, catecholamines; necessary for the synthesis of cholesterol and nucleotides. Insufficient consumption is accompanied by growth retardation, disorders in the reproductive system, increased fragility of bone tissue, disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
  • Copper is part of the enzymes that have redox activity and are involved in the metabolism of iron, stimulates the absorption of proteins and carbohydrates. Participates in the processes of providing tissues of the human body with oxygen. Deficiency is manifested by violations of the formation of the cardiovascular system and skeleton, the development of connective tissue dysplasia.
  • Molybdenum is a cofactor for many enzymes involved in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, purines and pyrimidines.
  • Selenium – an essential element of the antioxidant defense system of the human body, has an immunomodulatory effect, participates in the regulation of the action of thyroid hormones. Deficiency leads to Kashin-Bek’s disease (osteoarthritis with multiple deformities of the joints, spine and limbs), Keshan’s disease (endemic myocardiopathy), and hereditary thrombasthenia.
  • Chromium is involved in the regulation of blood glucose levels, enhancing the action of insulin. Deficiency leads to decreased glucose tolerance.
