Organic Dried Garlic

Dried garlic is garlic (Allium sativum) that has had most of its water removed. It is typically made by dehydrating fresh garlic cloves, which concentrates their flavor and aroma. Dried garlic can be found in whole, granulated, minced, or powdered forms.

Manufacturers add dried garlic to enhance the savory flavor of foods. Its concentrated taste makes it a convenient ingredient in spice blends, marinades, and rubs. It is commonly found in processed foods like sauces, soups, seasonings, and baked goods.

Dried 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 research on its specific health effects is ongoing. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated garlic and its components. Evidence on health benefits is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential positive effects on heart health and immune function, while others show no significant impact.
