INCI: Allium sativa

Garlic Flakes are dried pieces of Allium sativa with a bold, pungent aroma and a concentrated garlic taste. They rehydrate as they cook, releasing a strong savoury flavour that works beautifully in soups, stews, sauces and marinades. Flakes are a practical pantry staple when you want real garlic character without peeling or chopping. They can also be infused into oils or vinegars for kitchen projects.

Also available in a smaller retail size.

FAQs

Q: Do garlic flakes taste stronger than fresh garlic?
A: In many cooked dishes they can taste stronger because the flavour concentrates as the garlic dries and then rehydrates during cooking.

Q: Should flakes be soaked first?
A: Not usually. They rehydrate well in soups, sauces and stews. For dry mixes, a brief soak can help soften them before use.

Q: What is the difference between garlic flakes and garlic powder?
A: Flakes give texture and a more gradual release in cooking. Powder disperses instantly and blends smoothly into rubs and sauces.
