Minced Dehydrated Garlic

Minced dehydrated garlic is dried and minced garlic. Garlic is a plant in the allium family, related to onions and leeks. It is dried to remove moisture, which helps preserve it and concentrate its flavor.

Manufacturers add minced dehydrated garlic to provide a concentrated garlic flavor to foods. It is commonly used in savory packaged foods like crackers, spice blends, soups, and sauces. It offers a convenient way to add garlic taste without using fresh garlic.

Minced dehydrated garlic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a common food ingredient with a long history of use. While garlic has been studied for various health effects, typical dietary intake from food is not associated with significant health concerns. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated garlic and its components.
