Garbanzo Beans
Garbanzo beans, also called chickpeas, are legumes with a sweet and nutty flavor, which is why they are often used in Indian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. The name comes from the Arabic word for “chickpea,” which is “garbuz.” Garbanzos have been part of the human diet since at least 8000 BC. They are high in fiber and protein, making them an excellent source of plant-based food. Garbanzos can be boiled and eaten whole or ground into flour to make hummus.
Garlic: Garlic is a pungent-tasting vegetable that grows in bulbs and has a distinctive aroma when crushed or chopped.

Garlic contains numerous sulfur compounds called allicin, which may help lower cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation throughout the body.
Gelatin: Gelatin is a protein obtained from collagen obtained from the skins, tendons, ligaments, bones and other parts of animals such as pigs or cows. It’s used as a thickener for liquids such as soups and sauces because it gels when heated due to denaturing.

- Gelatin

The extracted gelatin then goes through several processes to turn it into the final product: gelatin powder, gelatin sheets or granulated gelatin in various sizes
Garnishes
Garnishes are small, decorative ingredients that are added to food to enhance its appearance. They can be as simple as a sprig of fresh parsley or a slice of lemon, but they can also be more complicated, like a colorful sugar decoration on top of a cupcake.
Garnishes are also used to add flavor to foods. For example, there are many different kinds of mustard that are used for dipping French fries or burgers. These mustards may not have much flavor themselves, but they add some taste to the food and make it look better when you dip it in them.
Garnishes are often used in soups and salads, but they can also be added to main courses like meatloaf or chicken breast.
Garlic

Gardenias prefer bright light but not direct sunlight and should be watered only when the soil feels dry at 1 inch below the surface of the potting mix.
Garlic chives: Garlic chives (Allium tuberosum) are related to onions but don’t produce bulbous root growth like onions do; instead, they produce narrow leaves that resemble grass blades that taper at both ends.
