What it is

Salt dehydrated garlic is a food ingredient made from fresh garlic that has been dried and then mixed with salt. The dehydration process removes moisture, concentrating the garlic flavor and extending shelf life. Salt is added for preservation and to enhance flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use salt dehydrated garlic as a flavoring agent in a variety of savory foods. Its concentrated garlic taste makes it a convenient ingredient for spice blends, seasonings, dips, sauces, and processed meats. It is often found in products like pickles, olives, and relishes.

Health notes

Salt dehydrated garlic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of sodium due to the added salt, and high sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting sodium intake. Both garlic and salt have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Garlic is a vegetable and does not belong to the FDA's list of major allergens. Salt is a mineral.
