What is garlic?Garlic (Allium sativum) is a plant that has been used for centuries as a culinary spice and for its many health-promoting benefits.* The bulb, the most commonly used part of the plant, contains numerous phytochemicals, including a substance called alliin. Alliin is a sulfur-containing compound derived from the amino acid cysteine. Alliin is the precursor to another compound called allicin, which appears to be one of the primary active ingredients in garlic.
