　　Garlic skin contains six separate antioxidant compounds, according to research from Japan. ‘Peeling garlic cloves removes the ­phenylpropanoid antioxidants which help fight the ageing ­process and protect the heart,’ explains Dr Glenville.

　　日本學者研究證實，大蒜皮富含6種不同成分的抗氧化的化合物，剝去大蒜皮也同時去除了其中的抗氧化物質，而這種物質有“抵抗衰老”以及“保護心臟”的功能。

　　HOW TO EAT IT: Drizzle olive oil over half or even a whole garlic head, then add to your baking tray when cooking a roast dinner or oven-baked Mediterranean vegetables.

　　食用方法：用橄欖油“連皮”烤大蒜的方法食用，或放進烤箱烹飪也不賴哦。
