Garlic

Closely related to the Shallot, Garlic is a herbal plant used for multiple culinary purposes. It has a strong tang to it, which pairs wonderfully with the pepper’s spiciness. It can reduce blood-pressure by relaxing blood vessels over time. Garlic also contains Vitamin E and antioxidants such as Allicin. 13 grams of Garlic contains about 0 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbs, 10 grams of fat, and 90 calories.
