Graded D — 24 out of 100, #45 of 45 vegetables. Clean label carries the score (99/100); low energy density drags it down (0/100).

The short version: Allicin-rich and boldly flavored — a seasoning with a nutrient panel.

The catch: Nobody eats 100g of garlic — scale these numbers to a clove or two.
