"I use this oil to add the garlic flavor to dishes without it upsetting my stomach. Garlic is digestive disruptor for many people when eaten in raw or cooked form, but when you infuse it in the oil it will not upset the digestive system. I have listed avocado oil for this recipe but you can use other oils depending on what you will use it for. For example, if you want to use this in salads, olive oil would be best. If you want to use it to pan fry, then the avocado oil would be best as it works best at high heat."
