Garlic
Garlic is a pungent bulbous plant in the allium family, cultivated for its segmented cloves encased in papery white skin. Fresh garlic contains allicin, a sulfur compound responsible for its characteristic aroma and linked to potential health benefits, which becomes activated when cloves are crushed or chopped. While low in calories, it serves as a foundational flavor enhancer in global cuisines, transitioning from sharp and spicy when raw to mellow and sweet when roasted or sautéed.
