Garlic Granules

Granulated garlic is dried garlic that has been coarsely ground to a sand-like consistency. It’s made by drying fresh garlic cloves in an oven, then grinding the cloves into garlic granules with a spice grinder. You can usually find granulated garlic bottled in the seasoning aisle of your local grocery store.

Garlic granules, like their powdered cousin, are made of dried garlic that has been processed into a handy packaged kitchen spice. Containing no added salts or other spices, they measure in the same way that garlic salt is measured. This is important to remember since the granules are not used in the same measurements as garlic powder. Typically, it takes two parts to provide the same level of flavor as would be obtained with the use of garlic powder. At the same time, the granules can be measured in a manner similar to garlic salt in most recipes.
