Minced Garlic

Dried Minced Garlic is an easily storable, convenient way to add garlic flavor and aroma to any recipe. Dried garlic has the flavor of fresh garlic, but will not spoil and does not linger on hands or cutting boards. An added benefit is that it will not leave the strong odor associated with its fresh counterpart upon cooking surfaces and hands. It will, however, impart the same intense flavor you expect from fresh garlic. Dried Minced Garlic can be used as-is, or by rehydrating with water to restore its original volume.

Garlic is a pungent and flavorful member of the lily family, has been a cornerstone of worldwide cuisines for centuries due to its prominent taste and aroma and for its ability to accent and amplify other flavors. Garlic’s near universal appeal is demonstrated by the key role it plays in diverse cuisines such as Chinese, German, Greek, Indian, Italian, Middle Eastern, Peruvian and Thai.

It has been thought that the ancient Egyptians were the first to cultivate garlic. The Greeks and Romans used garlic as a curative treatment for many ailments and wounds as well. The Cherokee tribes were also known to use garlic as a cough medicine.

Garlic is an elemental ingredient of cooking throughout the world, as its spicy, sharp and pungent nature lends itself to many savory applications. One of the more famous preparations is French aioli, an emulsification of garlic, egg yolks and olive oil that is used as a rich, strongly flavored sauce. It can be pickled, fermented and dried and used in almost every ethnic culinary preparation.

Sauté with butter and vegetables for a simple side dish. Whip into mayonnaise, aioli or sour cream for a quick dip for vegetables, chips or pretzels. Add to seasoning mixes and rubs for meat, seafood and poultry. Add to sauces, marinades and salad dressings, which will re-hydrate the garlic bits. Add to creamy sauces and rich, creamy dishes like mashed potatoes.
