सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

During 'Tsom' (fasting), garlic is the essential ingredient to make vegan food flavorful without meat or dairy. Garlic is often crushed and mixed with honey (ማር) to treat persistent coughs in children and adults. In markets like Merkato, garlic is often sold in small 'clumps' or braids rather than by weight for small household purchases. Some believe that carrying a clove of garlic can protect a person from 'Buda' (the evil eye) when traveling through unknown areas.
