Raw garlic question

I need flavor, and don't want to raise my blood pressure.I love to chop up little pieces of raw garlic over a steak or hamburger. There are no carbs right?,,,,,I know,,,Poor hubby! LOL!p.s. I am still in induction.

One clove of raw garlic has .992 grams of carbohydrate. It tastes so good and has such wonderful physiological effects, that little bit of carb is worth it. I hope this helps.

1 clove is just under 1 gram

Many cultures have long considered it an aphrodisiac. Also its a great natural blood thinner.

A clove of garlic is one of the sections of the whole bulb.

One clove is equal to approximately one teaspoon of garlic. Physiologically, garlic is a powerful immune system enhancer, (antibacterial/antiviral/antifungal) digestive aid (especially, if eaten with meat), and it helps lower high cholesterol. Most of the healing potential is only released when the garlic is chopped or crushed; your method seems ideal.

Garlic was once referred to as "Russias Penicillin" My naturopath currently prescribes it for the MURSA virus which antibiotics have not been touching very easily.
