Granulated Garlic

Granulated garlic offers a robust, pungent flavor with a savory depth reminiscent of fresh garlic, but in a more concentrated form. Its aroma is assertive and unmistakably garlicky, with a slightly toasted nuance from the drying process. The texture is fine and powdery, making it easy to incorporate into dishes. Originating from garlic bulbs, it is a staple in many cuisines worldwide, prized for its convenience and long shelf life. Its versatility allows it to enhance everything from soups to meats without the hassle of mincing fresh cloves.

Notes

Store granulated garlic in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency. It tends to lose flavor over time, so use within a year for best results. Unlike fresh garlic, it doesn’t require rehydration before use.

Uses

Marinades for chicken or beef
