Description

Garlic granules are a dehydrated and granulated form of fresh garlic, commonly used as a seasoning in a wide variety of culinary recipes. They are obtained by dehydrating whole garlic cloves and then grinding them into small granules, which allows their characteristic flavor to be preserved for longer and facilitates portioning.

This ingredient originates from regions where garlic is a fundamental component of the cuisine, such as the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. Due to its practicality, garlic granules have become popular all over the world, especially in Latin America, where they are used to season meats, stews, soups, marinades, and sauces.

Among their properties, their ability to provide an intense and balanced flavor without the need to peel or chop fresh garlic stands out. Furthermore, they retain a good part of the aroma and antioxidant properties of natural garlic. They are an ideal option for those seeking speed and convenience in the kitchen without sacrificing flavor.

In different Hispanic American countries, garlic granules are also known as coarse garlic powder, dry granular garlic, or simply granulated garlic.
