Garlic Puree

Garlic puree is made from fresh garlic cloves that have been processed into a smooth paste. This process typically involves washing, peeling, and then pureeing the garlic, sometimes with the addition of a small amount of water or oil to achieve the desired consistency. It captures the pungent flavor and aroma of garlic in a convenient form.

Garlic puree is used as a flavoring ingredient in a wide variety of savory foods. Manufacturers add it to sauces, marinades, dressings, dips, and prepared meals to impart a distinct garlic taste. Its smooth texture also helps it blend easily into formulations.

Garlic puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common food ingredient and is consumed in typical amounts without known adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated garlic and its compounds, but no specific regulatory limits for garlic puree are set for general consumption.
