Garlic

Garlic is a pungent bulb used worldwide in cuisines from Mediterranean to East Asian cooking; it’s prized for its strong aroma and ability to flavor dishes whether roasted, crushed, or used raw. Often used sparingly as a seasoning, whole cloves or minced garlic add depth to sauces, marinades and dressings. Nutritionally, garlic is low in fat and provides modest amounts of protein and fiber for an herb/spice, and it contains notable amounts of vitamin C (31.1mg per 100g) along with B vitamins and manganese. Much of garlic’s interest comes from sulfur-containing compounds that form when cloves are crushed, which contribute negligible calories but potent flavor and bioactivity. Garlic is valued not only for taste but for its micronutrient density and bioactive compounds: these have been associated with cardiovascular and immune-supporting effects in research, and garlic is commonly recommended as a flavorful way to boost nutrient and phytochemical intake without adding many calories.
