It also contains significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese. This summer squash also contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. Garlic’s antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties have been well studied.
