Some time ago on our FB Fanpage, we at MCM posed this question to our fans: What does MCM's Sambal Sauce, Belachan Sauce, Assam Sauce and Gan Xiang Sauce have in common? Though we got a number of Likes for that post, no one actually came up with an answer. Well, there's more than one answer, and one of those answers is garlic. Yes, all four sauces contain garlic, an essential ingredient in many Asian dishes. But, did you know that garlic has medicinal benefits?
According to authoritynutrition.com, the father of Western medicine, the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, used to prescribe garlic as treatment for some medical conditions.
An ounce or 28 grams serving of garlic provides:
1) Vitamin B6: 17% of the Required Dietary Allowance (RDA).
2) Vitamin C: 15% of the RDA.
3) Manganese: 23% of the RDA.
4) Selenium: 6% of the RDA.
5) Fiber: 1 gram.
6) Also some amounts of Vitamin B1, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium & copper.
