What to Keep On Hand in Santa Carla




Garlic. Lots of garlic.Why? Because of the vampires, silly. But you should keep it around even if you don't live in Santa Carla. You know why: it's full of many types of antioxidants, it is an anti-inflammatory for the heart, musculoskeletal system, and respiratory system. It's a good source of manganese,B6, B1, vitamin C, phosphorous, selenium, potassium, and copper. It helps lower cholesterol and increases iron metabolism.You know this. but what you probably don't know is that the garlic is best consumed raw!If you must cook it, add it near the end of the cooking process. And if you crush or chop the cloves, wait 10 minutes before cooking with it. That will protect the beneficial enzymes. From The Lost Boys( a guilty pleasure): Edgar Frog: "You'd better get yourself a garlic T-shirt, buddy, or it's your funeral!"
