Todd's Granulated Garlic (10 oz)

Granulated garlic is a popular culinary ingredient and seasoning derived from fresh garlic cloves. It is made by dehydrating garlic cloves and then processing them into small, coarse granules. This process involves crushing or mincing the garlic, followed by drying it at low temperatures to preserve its flavor, aroma, and nutritional properties.

The resulting granulated garlic retains much of the pungent, savory, and slightly sweet flavor of fresh garlic, but in a more convenient and shelf-stable form. It is commonly used in various cuisines around the world to add depth and complexity to dishes without the need to peel, chop, or press fresh garlic.

Granulated garlic is a versatile ingredient, and it blends well with other spices and herbs, making it a popular choice for seasoning rubs, marinades, dressings, sauces, soups, stews, and more. It can be used in both cooked and raw applications, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes, from meats and vegetables to pasta and seafood.

One of the advantages of granulated garlic is its long shelf life compared to fresh garlic, and it doesn't have the risk of sprouting or rotting. However, it's essential to store it in an airtight container away from heat and moisture to preserve its quality and potency.

While granulated garlic can be a convenient substitute for fresh garlic in many recipes, some culinary enthusiasts still prefer the flavor and aroma of fresh garlic for certain dishes. It's ultimately a matter of personal preference and the specific requirements of the recipe.
