One of the most eaten crops that you were never supposed to eat is garlic.Garlic actually didn't evolve to be food. Each clove has separate compounds that create allicin when they break and mix together, and allicin is toxic to things like microbes and insects.But the same compound that burns through your chest can actually keep you alive.Roman soldiers carried garlic on every campaign because it kept infected wounds from killing them. It was listed on ship manifests next to weapons and grains.That's why garlic exists in European kitchens today. An army that didn't understand chemistry figured out that a plant's defense mechanism kept their soldiers alive.A plant that spent millions of years trying not to be eaten became one of the most eaten crops on this planet, which is pretty insane.
