What is seed garlic?
Garlic that is grown with propagation (rather than eating) in mind is called seed garlic. While it’s exceptionally edible and delicious, it is grown, selected, and priced with the gardener/farmer in mind. A single clove of garlic is planted to produce one plant/bulb/head the following season.
