Garlic

The dietary virtues of Garlic are well-known the world over. Garlic has served mankind for centuries. The only problem with getting garlic into the diet has always been the distinct odor it leaves on the breath. Recent technological breakthroughs have now made it possible to manufacture "odorless" Garlic.
