I eat 2 or 3 whole uncooked garlic cloves with Uncooked olive oil with my meals. as often as possinle prolly 9 cloves a day total, . She did not.eat garlic cloves and olive oil together with meals .olive oil should take the place of butter or margerine with raw peeled eaten whole garlic clovesl......... a clove is the small indevidual section of a whole bunch of cloves together ..break open the bulb of garlic and seperate each clove to eat ..peel and eat whole and uncooked .
