Which of the following contains the phytonutrient allicin?
Show Hint
Grape
Cauliflower
Garlic
Chilli
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Garlic has been used for centuries in various cultures not only for culinary purposes but also for its medicinal properties. Allicin is particularly notable for its ability to support immune function and may contribute to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Grape (option A), cauliflower (option B), and chilli (option D) do not contain allicin as their main phytonutrient, and while they have their own beneficial compounds, allicin is specific to garlic. Thus, the correct answer is (C) Garlic.

“His life was divided between the books, his friends, and long walks. A solitary man, he worked at all hours without much method, and probably courted his fatal illness in this way. To his own name there is not much to show; but such was his liberality that he was continually helping others, and fruits of his erudition are widely scattered, and have gone to increase many a comparative stranger’s reputation.” (From E.V.
