There is an option to raw garlic. It’s black garlic, fermented for weeks and used in Asian kitchen. It’s sweet like dried prunes, no odor or no burning and when you read about it, it’s presumably better for you than the raw kind. I buy it in a Mexican store. It’s in a jar by the register. It’s $2.50 for one garlic. You can try any Asian stores as well.

Since allicin is the ingredient in garlic with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties, and allicin is reduced or removed by fermentation, I think it would not be helpful...

And you are right Sue. It looses its anti microbial and antibacterial properties when fermented -I read more about it. Thank you for checking.
