How To Eat Raw Garlic/Chili

Featured Replies

My local kao ka moo lady provides two small bowls of raw, unpeeled garlic and whole chilis at the tables, and I'm wondering what the proper "Thai" way of utilizing these condiments is.

My method is usually to toss a few segments of garlic with skin into the dish, since I'm too lazy to peel 'em, and every so often hold a chili and bite a piece off with a mouthful of kao ka moo.

I'd say just to pop of clove of garlic followed by a mouthful of the thai dish then follow with a chile...resembling the tequila salt-shot-lime routine...seems to have a universal appeal...

Thai garlic doesn't require peeling. The big bulb Chinese stuff, more like garlic in the west, does.

a bit off topic but does anyone care to comment regarding the relative pungency of thai/american/european garlic? quite a bit a difference, I'd say...

(I'm from CA in the US and compare to the product from Gilroy...)

It depends of the freshness of the Chinese garlic although the Meditarian garlic I was used to use is peerless.

Also because I bought organic garlic if I could, they had even more pungency.

Here I buy fresh Chinese garlic witch still have some purper colour.

Here are some health benefits of raw garlic:

  • Powerful immune system enhancer
  • Increases white blood cell production
  • Antibacterial, antiviral
  • Antifungal - effective remedy for yeast infections & candida
  • Clears boils & infected sores
  • Improves appetite
  • Digestive aid - add it to meat and other heavy meals
  • Increases libido - 1 or 2 raw cloves a day
  • Expells intestinal parasites & worms
  • Reduces high cholesterol

yeah...the medicinal value of garlic is well known...there are a bunch of crazy people in northern California 'the lovers of the stinking rose' that eat raw garlic all day in the belief that the practice will keep them alive for 100 years...check this out:

meself I always keep a bottle of tescos virgin olive oil handy with 4-5 cloves in the bottom to dress any salad...and I always check my stock of garlic every day...
