Garlic is a vegetable with the root portion eaten like an onion or a potato. Garlic grows under the ground like bulb and the root, stems and even seeds can be eaten. While garlic is vegetable it is usually used in cooking to accompany a meal. Large amounts of garlic can be too strong in flavor to eat on their own like other root vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garlic is not a fruit because a fruit will contain seeds. Think of watermelon, apple or orange, these all contain seeds. Garlic is an allium or a relative of the onion family. The whole bulb is eaten fresh or cooked and adds amazing flavor to loads of dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
