Garlic, Number Of Flower : Vegetable

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a bulbous plant widely used in cooking for its distinctive, pungent flavor and aroma. It belongs to the onion family (Alliaceae) and is native to Central Asia, but it is now cultivated globally. The garlic bulb consists of several individual cloves, each encased in a thin, papery skin. When the cloves are crushed, chopped, or minced, garlic releases a strong, flavorful compound called allicin, which is responsible for its characteristic scent and many of its health benefits.
