I know most of you know already, but there are some out there who don’t. Therefore, I present to you the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb of garlic:

A bulb of garlic, the most commonly used part of the plant, is divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. The clove is what you pull off from the bulb.
