Cement garlic is being sold in the market, how to identify it and how dangerous it is for health?

Recently, a case of fake garlic made of cement came to light in Akola district of Maharashtra. This can be extremely dangerous for health. Therefore it is necessary to identify real and fake garlic.

The benefits of garlic are also not counted. According to a study by the National Library of Medicine, garlic is beneficial in diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and blood pressure. It has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

But if fake garlic is eaten then serious damage can occur. Cement mixed garlic can damage vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea and even internal organs. Apart from this, cement dust can also affect the lungs through breath.

Now the question is, how to identify real and fake garlic? The first way is to see color. If the garlic looks too white and without stain, then doubt, it can be fake.

The second way is to touch the texture. The surface and size of real garlic are uneven, while fake garlic will look very smooth and perfect.

The third way is the water test. The real garlic sinks in water, while the fake often swim. At the same time, smell can also be identified. The smell of real garlic is sharp and quite sharp, fake will not have either smell or will be like chemical.

Finally look at the packaging. If garlic looks very perfect, shiny and the same buds, then become cautious. Remember, the real garlic looks a little irregular and natural.
