The raw garlic is actually better than cooked. However, if you do eat the raw garlic, it is best to crush it and chop it up and let it sit out for a minute up to 90 minutes as this allows allicin to form (the good stuff). Cooking garlic reduces the effectiveness, but that only means more cooked garlic is needed.

Crushing or chopping garlic releases an enzyme called alliinase that catalyzes the formation of allicin. Allicin rapidly breaks down to form a variety of organosulfur compounds. (More information)
