Having one of the world's largest garlic crops, Gilroy, California is known as the "garlic capital of
the world." On a hot summer day, a pungent odor rises from this farming town which can be smelled miles
away. All you have to do is roll down the window of your car and you know you're in Gilroy.
Believing that garlic helps the body fight many forms of diseases, people add garlic to their cooking
in many parts of the world. Moreover, it's popularly used as the poor man's cure-all. During the First World

thinking that it kills bacteria, some people eat raw garlic as if it were candy.
