How Granulated Garlic Is Made?

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.

How do you make granulated garlic?

To get granulated garlic, fresh garlic cloves will be peeled and minced, and then put in a slow-drying oven. These dried out pieces of garlic make garlic flakes, and these are then further ground down to make both granules and a fine powder.

Is there a difference between granulated garlic and garlic powder?

The main difference between garlic powder and granulated garlic is texture. Both are made of dehydrated garlic. Garlic powder has a very fine consistency, more like flour. Granulated garlic is coarser, more like the consistency of cornmeal.
