What is a piece of garlic called?

• Tranche
• Clove
• Wedge

A clove of garlic is not the same as a head of garlic. The head is the entire bulb, covered in papery skin. When you peel back the skin, you will find individual segments — these sections are called cloves. The cloves are easy to separate from each other, allowing you to use a few cloves and leave the rest of the head mostly intact.

From what vegetable does sweet paprika come from?

Paprika is made from grinding varieties of dried mild red peppers. When purchasing paprika, there are three different types to choose from, sweet, hot, or smoked. The differences between the three are dependent upon the variety of the peppers. Sweet paprika may not be sweet or spicy, and is the typical type used when the recipe simply calls for “paprika.” It’s made from bright, sweet red peppers without any heat. Use it to add color or a mild peppery flavor to a dish.
