National Garlic Day 2024: Garlic is known for its unique flavour and for making any dish better. It is a commonly used seasoning flavour and has been used for ages in food. Garlic also has great health benefits. It is an herbal remedy for colds and helps in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol. It is also loaded with antibiotic properties and helps in fighting infections in the body. It also helps in improving heart health and alleviating the risk of liver injury. Every year, April 19 is dedicated to garlic and its benefits and is known as National Garlic Day. For the special day, we have curated a special recipe for preparing one of our favourite dishes at home – Green garlic bread. When we think of pizza and burgers and cafes, or hanging out with friends, garlic bread is a quintessential dish – it is crunchy, rich with flavours and makes for a great dish.
