A__ of garlic.

Hi,
Good morning! :-)
I know that you say a clove of garlic... but how do you call the whole thing? Is this called a head of garlic?
We use a head of lettucce... Is there any other vegetable or thing we use with this expression "a head of.."?
Thanks a lot in advance and have a beautiful day!
Irma.

In German we call the little bits of garlic 'toes' due to a certain resemblance.
