Granulated Garlic

Description

Garlic is one of the most popular flavors in cuisines around the world, and you can bring the familiar taste and aroma to your meals with granulated garlic. A member of the lily family, this garlic is made of pieces larger than those of garlic powder, making it perfect for garlic bread, pizza toppings, and rubs. The flavor of garlic can also be affected by cooking time, with longer exposure to heat resulting in a milder taste.

This form of garlic is the dried form of minced garlic but is ground slightly finer than dried minced garlic. While both variations are a time saver in the kitchen, there are some instances where granulated garlic might be the better option for your recipe.

Description:

While granulated garlic is coarsely ground to a sand consistency, garlic powder is finely ground to a flour consistency. Due to the size difference, garlic powder is more potent in flavor than granulated garlic. This because more of the surface area of the garlic is exposed to oxygen, releasing more of the sulfur compound.

Usage:

This garlic has more air by volume due to its larger size, while garlic powder is denser. Double the number of  garlic grains – for instance, two teaspoons granulated garlic for every one teaspoon garlic powder. If you prefer fresh garlic but only have spices, one fresh clove of garlic can be considered equivalent to ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, or ½ teaspoon of granulated garlic. If you’re trying to mimic fresh garlic, using hydrated granulated garlic will be the best replacement.

Granulated Garlic contains significant amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin C, selenium, and manganese. Garlic is also a good source of minerals, including calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, and iron. Garlic is known to be anti-microbial, and it is believed to help boost the immune system. Granulated garlic is often used as a seasoning for sauces and dry rubs because of how well it distributes the garlic flavor in a dish without adding moisture.

To maintain freshness, this spice is shipped in glass bottles. That’s because glass jars can preserve the freshness of spices for up to 2 years. Glass is an awesome option for storing spices because it doesn’t react to ingredients, unlike plastics and wood. Glass doesn’t typically conduct heat and you can see what’s inside to keep track of inventory.
