Garlic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Garlic (Allium sativum) is a perennial plant in the family Alliaceae and genus Allium, closely related to the onion, shallot, and leek. |
 | | It is related to onions and lilies, and cultivated in the same manner as the shallot. |
 | | Although people have come to enjoy the taste of garlic, these compounds are believed to have evolved as a defensive mechanism, deterring animals like birds, insects, and worms from eating the plant. |
