About
Garlic cloves are fragrant bulb segments that pack loosely into a container at roughly half the density of water.
With a bulk density of about 4.6 ounces per US cup (0.55 g/mL), whole garlic cloves take up almost twice as much room as water for the same weight. Because their curved shapes leave air spaces in a container, whole cloves weigh less by volume than minced garlic or chopped onions. Garlic is a bulbous plant related to onions, shallots, and leeks, cultivated in hundreds of varieties across two subspecies. When measured whole, these irregular cloves settle unevenly, keeping their overall bulk weight relatively low.
From Wikipedia
Garlic is a species of bulbous flowering plants in the genus Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chives, Welsh onion, and Chinese onion.
