'''Garlic''' (species '''Allium sativum''') is a type of [[plant]] that [[wikt:people|people]] eat for [[food]].<ref name="Oregon">{{cite web|title=Garlic|publisher=Oregon State University|url=https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/food-beverages/garlic}}</ref> Garlic is related to [[onion]]s, [[shallot]]s, and [[leek]]s. It has a very strong [[flavor]] and [[odor|smell]]. Most of the time, people use it as a flavoring so that it helps make food [[taste]] better.<br />
<br />
Garlic is used as [[herb]]al medicine in the treatment of cold and flu.<ref name="NIH">{{cite web|url=https://nccih.nih.gov/health/garlic/ataglance.htm|publisher=National Institutes of Health|title=Garlic}}</ref> It has side effects of [[heartburn]], [[flatulence]] and sweating.<ref name="Oregon" /><br />
<br />
The part of the garlic plant that people eat is called the head. It grows at the bottom of a long green stalk. People pull the head apart into smaller pieces called cloves of garlic. Cloves have papery skin on them. People peel off the skin before cooking the cloves.<ref name="Almanac" /><br />
<br />
People plant garlic in the fall right after the first frost. They plant the clove like a seed. One clove can grow into a whole head. The garlic plant grows its roots before the ground freezes for winter. People harvest (collect) the garlic in the middle of the next summer.<ref name="Almanac">{{cite web|title=Growing garlic|url=https://www.almanac.com/plant/garlic|publisher=The Old Farmer's Almanac|accessdate=July 16, 2020}}</ref><br />

== Folklore ==<br />
Garlic is in legends about [[vampire]]s. In these legends, vampires do not like garlic. Garlic keeps vampires away. Writers for the Toronto Garlic Festival say this might be because the vampire legend comes from the disease [[porphyria]]. People with porphyria do not like to eat foods that have [[sulfur]] in them, like garlic.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://torontogarlicfestival.ca/vampires-hate-garlic/|publisher=Toronto Garlic Festival|accessdate=July 16, 2020|title=Why Vampires Hate Garlic}}</ref><br />
