A clove of garlic is a versatile and flavorful part of the garlic bulb, widely used in cuisines across the globe, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes. Rich in nutrients, it contains vitamins C and B6, manganese, and selenium, along with sulfur compounds like allicin, which is linked to its distinct aroma and potential health benefits. Consuming garlic may support immune function, heart health, and have antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Low in calories but packed with flavor, garlic is often used as a natural seasoning in cooking to enhance dishes without adding excessive salt or fat. While generally healthy, excessive garlic intake can occasionally cause digestive discomfort or interact with certain medications. A staple in many kitchens, a single clove is small but mighty and celebrated for its robust flavor and nutritional advantages.
