About Garlic, raw
Garlic is the small, pungent bulb that flavors more savory cooking than almost anything else. Used by the clove rather than the cupful, it's an aromatic first and a food second — a little brings a lot of depth to a dish.
Because it's eaten in such small amounts, garlic isn't a meaningful source of calories or macronutrients. Its interest lies in its sulfur compounds, chiefly allicin, which is released when a clove is crushed or chopped and is behind both its powerful smell and its long-standing place in traditional remedies.
Raw, the flavor is sharp and hot; gentle cooking mellows it into something sweet and nutty. Either way, garlic earns its keep on taste alone.
