Description: Garlic is a perennial bulb-forming plant that typically grows 30–60 cm tall and develops long, flat, strap-like green leaves above ground with a multi-clove bulb forming below the soil surface. Each bulb is composed of numerous tightly packed cloves enclosed in papery white or pale purple skins. Garlic is cultivated across temperate regions worldwide and is generally harvested in late summer once the foliage begins to yellow and dry, indicating full bulb maturity.
After harvest, the bulbs are separated into individual cloves, which are peeled, cleaned, and sliced. The slices are dried under controlled low-temperature conditions to reduce moisture while preserving their natural pale ivory colour, firm texture, and characteristic aroma. This careful drying process maintains the structural integrity of the garlic before further processing.
Once fully dehydrated, the garlic pieces are milled into coarse, free-flowing granules and sifted to achieve a uniform particle size. The finished granulated garlic displays a light cream to pale golden colour with a slightly rough texture, allowing it to blend evenly into dry mixes while retaining visible garlic pieces.
Uses: Granulated Garlic is used in soups, sauces, marinades, dry rubs, spice blends, vegetable dishes, savoury baked goods, infused oils, and seasoning preparations where a coarse garlic texture is preferred for even distribution, natural appearance, and consistent flavour in finished recipes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
