Even if you are a vegetarian can you imagine cooking Chinese food without Ginger and Garlic?? It is difficult to trace the origin of garlic, though it belongs to the family of onions. Some experts believe it originated in Russia's Siberian desert and then spread throughout Asia, the Mediterranean and finally Europe. But whatever its birthplace, the Chinese were using garlic by 3,000 BC. As for ginger, experts say it is probably native to south east Asia and I believe the Chinese must have been using garlic and ginger since ancient times.
Ginger and garlic are the two basic key ingredients that rules most of the Indian kitchen. Ginger and Garlic enhances the flavour of the dishes that we cook. But normally when we think of garlic, we relate it to bad breath. Agreed that bad breath is a drawback of garlic, but its health benefits far outweighs its drawbacks.
The positive effect of garlic is on the blood pressure which reduces the blood fats, and also brings down the cholesterol levels. It is also believed that Garlic even helps to prevent cancer! One German study had shown that garlic reduced cholesterol levels by 20 percent in all the test subjects. These reasons put together are more than enough for you to start eating more garlic?
Ginger on the other also provides excellent benefits for your health. This herb has been widely grown and used for thousands of years in China. It not only adds flavour to the cooking but has large medicinal values!
The greatest ever benefit of ginger is its capacity to fight our digestion problems. Besides being used in cooking dishes, its more prominently used in our morning cuppa that we start with, yes our good old desi chai..adrakwali.!!! Something that helps you fight the spine chilling winter, is a mug of hot steaming, ginger tea. Moreover Ginger also helps open blockages in arteries, and also instrumental in lowering the cholesterol levels.
Tip: Garlic should always be stored in a dry place.
