About Garlic souce

Garlic sauce is a flavorful condiment commonly found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. Typically made from garlic, oil, lemon juice, and sometimes yogurt or mayonnaise, it offers bold flavor and versatility. Garlic itself is rich in vitamins B6 and C, as well as manganese, providing a strong antioxidant profile. Depending on the recipe, the nutritional properties of the sauce can vary; for example, those with oil contain healthy fats while those made with yogurt add protein and calcium. Garlic’s active compound, allicin, is noteworthy for its observed health benefits and pungent taste, making garlic sauce a well-loved addition to dishes like grilled meats, veggies, or bread.

Health Benefits

• Boosts immune function due to garlic's high vitamin C and allicin content, which support white blood cell activity.
• Promotes heart health through garlic's ability to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, supported by its potassium and allicin compounds.
• Provides antioxidant properties from garlic's manganese, which helps protect cells from oxidative damage.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains dairy (if yogurt or mayonnaise is used), eggs (if mayonnaise is included)

Not suitable for: Vegan (if mayonnaise or yogurt are included), low-fat diets (depending on oil content)
