Garlic is widely used as a seasoning or condiment all over the world due to its pungent flavour.
The bulb of the garlic plant is the most commonly used part of the plant. Except for single clove varieties, garlic bulbs are typically divided into numerous fleshy sections known as cloves. Garlic cloves can be eaten raw or cooked, and they can also be used medicinally. They have a distinct pungent, spicy flavour that mellows and sweetens significantly when cooked.
