Granulated Garlic

Granulated garlic is a versatile seasoning made from dehydrated garlic cloves that have been coarsely ground to create small, grainy particles. It offers the robust, pungent flavor of fresh garlic but with enhanced convenience and a longer shelf life. Unlike garlic powder, which has a fine, flour-like texture, granulated garlic's coarser consistency allows it to distribute more evenly in rubs, marinades, and spice blends without clumping. It dissolves well in liquids and can be used as a direct substitute for fresh garlic in recipes where a subtle, savory depth is desired. Perfect for soups, sauces, roasted vegetables, and meat dishes, granulated garlic is a pantry staple that delivers bold garlic flavor with minimal effort.

Granulated garlic is a versatile seasoning that can usually be found in the spice aisle of your local grocery store. Look for it on shelves alongside other dried herbs and spices such as onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. It is typically packaged in small plastic or glass jars with a shaker or screw-top lid, and is often labeled as "Granulated Garlic" or sometimes "Garlic Granules." In larger supermarkets, you might also find it in the bulk section, where you can scoop out the amount you need. If you’re shopping at a specialty or international market, check the aisle dedicated to herbs and spices, or sometimes near the baking supplies. Granulated garlic is different from garlic powder; it has a coarser texture, making it perfect for recipes where you want a more pronounced garlic flavor and a bit of texture without the moisture of fresh garlic.
