The cultural history of a powerful bulb.","description":"Garlic - Medicinal plant, magic herb, and cultural treasure For thousands of years, garlic has been used as food, medicine, and a magical plant in cultures around the world. From the Egyptian pyramid builders to the soldiers of antiquity to modern cuisine, garlic has always enjoyed a reputation for strengthening the body and protecting against disease. Over the course of history, it became known as \"Russian penicillin\" on battlefields, served as a magical plant to ward off evil spirits, and finally established itself in modern phytotherapy as a recognized medicinal plant. But garlic is much more than just a simple natural remedy. It is a cultural symbol, an ingredient that creates identity and can transcend boundaries. Its distinctive smell symbolizes closeness and distance: as a spice, it creates culinary connections, but can also draw social boundaries. HOLY MOLY - My Holy Garlic invites you on an exciting journey through botany, medicine, mythology, sociology, and culinary diversity - and makes you want to enjoy the bulb in a new way and discover how this seemingly simple plant found its way from the field to the world of pop culture and gourmet cuisine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eureca Circe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3819215549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783819215544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bod - Books on Demand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.39d","brand":"Eureca Circe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135671845119,"sku":"9783819215544","price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ec9561a-e071-4fa2-ae64-f8d51223e289.jpg?v=1755010801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holy-moly-my-holy-eureca-circe-9783819215544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
