“Thank you for the post on garlic.
Question…I have heard that garlic is much better to eat if the yellowish/greenish sprig is removed before eating/cooking.
Is there any substance to this notion?
Thank you.

Dear Jeff: This yellowish greenish sprig has concentrated sulfur content, which has been exposed to the air, and thus becomes even more heating for the physiology, as well as lethal for the friendly bacteria!So yes, it will reduce the undesirable effect somewhat when you remove the sprigs before consuming the garlic. However, sulfur is still present. And again, as I have explained in the past, the beneficial or not consumption of garlic for an individual will depends on how much sulfur that indivdual’s colon can handle; how much garlic that individual consumes with what types of food, which vegetables. For example, if an individual consumes garlic with cooling vegetables, such as loki or summer squash (zucchini), and if they are not a high pitta type, maybe their colon can handle the garlic and sulfur content, and their friendly bacteria will not be harmed.
Thank you, so much, for the response…..much appreciated.
