Dried Garlic Flakes

€2,50 EUR

Garlic flakes are dehydrated garlic cloves cut into thin, asymmetrical flakes — a middle ground between powder and granules. They dissolve more slowly than powder, leaving visible pieces of garlic in the food, and impart a consistent and intense garlic flavor to any recipe.

The ingredient we use

We use high-quality dehydrated garlic cloves, cut into thin 1–3 mm flakes, raw, with no additives or colorings. The color is light beige-yellow with a smooth, shiny surface. The flakes are slightly asymmetrical and easily discernible to the eye.

Botanical identity

Garlic (Allium sativum, fam. Amaryllidaceae) has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. It originally hails from Central Asia and is grown all over the world. In Ancient Egypt, it was so important that pyramid workers received it as their daily wage.

Aroma, color, and taste

Light beige-yellow color with a smooth, shiny surface. The aroma is intense and characteristically garlicky with a slightly sweet note from the dehydration process. The flakes dissolve steadily in liquids and sauces, leaving visible pieces of garlic in the food — ideal for those who want to see the garlic on their plate.

How to use

Add directly to meat and pasta sauces for a quick garlic flavor with visible texture. Excellent on focaccia and pizza as a topping for a visible result. Add to dips, tzatziki, and salad dressings for a noticeable presence. See also our Garlic Granules for the same flavor in a coarser form.

Pairings

With thyme, oregano, and parmesan for Mediterranean dressings with visible flakes. With turmeric and cumin for Indian-style dishes. With black pepper and paprika for barbecue sauce. With rosemary and lemon for chicken marinades.
