It protects against toxins and infections, has a diuretic effect, reduces blood pressure… and more.
Sweeter and much less invasive than garlic, it is present in many traditional Tuscan recipes and is essential for pici all'aglione: a very tasty and healthy dish, typical of the Sienese countryside. Try it and you will hardly do without it.
