Flavor Profile

California Granulated Garlic tastes strong, pungent, and garlicky. Unlike fresh garlic, which tends to have a very upfront flavor, granulated garlic adds more subtle flavor complexity and umami to anything it is added to.

How to Use Granulated Garlic

This is one of the few spices that people think are more flavorful when dried since it concentrates the flavor significantly. As any good home cook knows, nothing compares to fresh garlic, but that doesn't mean that dehydrated garlic shouldn't play a vital role in your kitchen.

Granulated Garlic is usually the preferred choice of the various types of dried garlic when substituting for fresh.

Granulated Garlic is especially good with just about anything savory. It's wonderful on bread (think garlic bread), cheese-based dishes, chili, popcorn, root vegetables, soups, spice blends, and stews.

Granulated Garlic pairs well with basil, beans, chile peppers, ginger, greens, onions, spinach, and turmeric.
