Have you ever experienced a stomach ache after eating garlic? I took a cooking class in Rome and I learned an interesting fact from my Italian instructor. He informed us that if you eat the middle green part of garlic that it will make your stomach gurgle and feel unpleasant. So now every time I cook garlic, I always remove the middle sprouting part.

What are your thoughts on sprouting garlic?
