What it is

Dehydrated minced garlic is dried and chopped pieces of the garlic bulb. Garlic is a plant in the allium family, related to onions and leeks. Drying concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dehydrated minced garlic to provide a concentrated garlic flavor to foods. It is used in a wide variety of savory products, including sauces, marinades, spice blends, soups, and processed meats.

Health notes

Dehydrated minced garlic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of various compounds, including allicin, which have been studied for potential health benefits. However, scientific evidence on these effects in humans at typical dietary intake levels is ongoing. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated garlic and its components.

Allergen info

Garlic is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
