The herb garlic has been used as a flavoring since the earliest times of mankind's history. It has been found in the Egyptian pyramids and was used in temples in ancient Greece. Garlic has been used as a spice and also as a medicine. Even Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, recommended the use of garlic. Modern research has now shown garlic to have a wide variety of healing benefits. The best form of garlic is fresh garlic, because it contains compounds that break down when you cut or chew the garlic bulbs. Garlic is easy to grow indoors or out. Using the Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box, you can grow your own garlic year-round.
A great way to store excess garlic and for those times when you don't have access to fresh garlic is to make your own dried garlic. To grow a large quantity of garlic for drying, the Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box allows a non-electric method of growing indoors with no soil and uses only a small amount of water. The garlic will grow in a very small space in the BPA-free containers. Then all you need is a blender and a food dryer to make enough garlic for your needs.
