Density 80 · -13 vs Vegetables median

Raw garlic scores 80 of 100, a Strong result but only 41st of 60 within Vegetables, a category with a high median of 93; it still delivers vitamin C at 35% DV, calcium at 14% DV, and protein at 13% DV.

Garlic is almost always used in small minced or crushed amounts to season cooking rather than eaten by the cupful, so the 136 g cup figure in the data reflects a lab-scale serving rather than a realistic portion. For vegetables scored higher within this category, potatoes with flesh and skin, raw, rank ahead of it on the density scale.
