Description

Garlic is one of the worldâs most flavorful herbs, used in nearly every world cuisine. Granulated garlic is one form thatâs popular in the kitchen. Granulated garlic is made from dehydrated garlic â" much like garlic powder. Yet, the grinding process creates a much coarser powder. Itâs closer in texture to cornmeal (whereas the powder is more like cornstarch).

In cooking, granulated garlic delivers a sweeter flavor than fresh garlic. The taste is mild with the notes of garlic and onion, without being overbearing. It has numerous culinary uses. Granulated garlic can be used as a substitute for fresh garlic, added to soups, stews and sauces to create complex flavors, or used in breadcrumb mixes for fried chicken.

You can use granulated garlic as a substitute for garlic powder. But be careful â" theyâre not substituted in a 1-to-1 ratio.

Granulated garlic isnât as fine as the powder, so youâll need to add more granulated garlic than you would the powder to achieve a similar flavor profile. Typically, itâs 2 parts granulated garlic to 1 part powder.

Granulated garlic also takes a bit longer to release its flavor â" which makes it ideal for dishes with longer cooking times. Typically, granulated garlic is used for:

Soups and Stews â" Granulated garlic is the better option for wet dishes, as itâs less likely to clump and it releases flavor over a longer period. Add the spice to soups and stews to add a burst of garlic flavor.

Dry Rubs â" Granulated garlic tends to coat more evenly, and because itâs coarser it tends to mix well with other spices.

Dressings and Sauces â" Granulated garlic adds depth to the flavor of sauces and salad dressings, as well as a hint of texture.
