Garlic—a pungent powerhouse revered across cultures for its bold flavor, medicinal properties, and rich symbolism.

Quick fact: Garlic's ancient roots and cultural significance

Garlic (Allium sativum) has been cultivated for over 5,000 years, with its origins traced to Central Asia and northeastern Iran. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, valued garlic not only as a culinary staple but also for its medicinal and symbolic properties. In ancient Egypt, garlic was fed to laborers to enhance strength and endurance, and cloves were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, suggesting its significance in the afterlife. Greek athletes and soldiers consumed garlic for stamina and courage, while Roman soldiers believed it endowed them with bravery in battle. Throughout history, garlic has been associated with protection against evil, used in various cultures to ward off spirits and, famously, vampires.

Wearing this tee is a tribute to garlic's enduring legacy and its multifaceted role in human history. It's perfect for those who appreciate the fusion of flavor, folklore, and cultural heritage that garlic embodies.
