Garlic is a flowering plant in the lily family that is commonly used as a spice and seasoning. Garlic bulbs are made up of several fleshy cloves, which are surrounded by a papery skin. Raw garlic has a strong, pungent flavor, while cooked garlic has a milder, sweeter flavor.

Example

1. My grandma added garlic for extra flavor in the spaghetti sauce.
2. I love dipping crusty bread into a good quality olive oil with garlic.
3. We planted garlic cloves in the fall, and now fresh green shoots are popping up!
