National Garlic Day - April 19, 2025
Who knew? April 19 is National Garlic Day!!
If you know me, when I eat out, I often remark that a dish needs more garlic. I think my entire family says this. However, my Dad (and Mom) did not cook with garlic at all, no garlic powder, not even garlic salt. My Dad would say garlic gave him a headache. It wasn't until I left home that I discovered the amazing properties of garlic.
Garlic is a member of the Lily family that also includes the flavorful onions, leeks, and shallots that we use in some of our favorite dishes. Garlic originated in Asia some 7000 years ago, so it is no wonder that it's revered worldwide.
I am going to try to grow garlic this year, I'll post later on how this works out.
