Garlic is abundant in nutrients but low in calories

This nutrition information for one clove of raw garlic (3g) contains Manganese: 2% of the daily value (DV); Vitamin B6: 2% of the DV; Vitamin C: 1% of the DV; Selenium: 1% of the DV and Fiber: 0.06 grams. Carbohydrate provides the majority of the calories in garlic, and because the portion size and calories are so low, the carbs are also very low. A 3-gram garlic clove contains nearly no calories. Consuming the entire clove will only add four calories to your total consumption. Garlic calories are unlikely to make a significant impact on your daily food intake because you are likely to eat so little of it.

Garlic also includes various vitamins and minerals, but owing to the low serving size, a single clove does not supply much. Each clove includes a little amount of vitamin C, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin K, and manganese.
