What it is

Dried minced garlic is made from fresh garlic cloves that have been peeled, sliced or chopped, and then dehydrated. This process concentrates the garlic flavor and removes moisture, making it shelf-stable. It is a convenient way to add garlic's distinct taste to dishes without using fresh garlic.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried minced garlic primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a savory, pungent taste to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, marinades, sauces, salad dressings, processed meats, and snack foods like popcorn and seasoned nuts.

Health notes

Dried minced garlic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of various beneficial compounds, though the drying process may alter the levels of some. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated garlic and its extracts. Research into garlic's health effects is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for heart health, but more definitive evidence is needed.

Allergen info

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