Dehydrated Garlic

Dehydrated Garlic Flakes (Allium sativum) are thin, dried slices of garlic that serve as a convenient and long-lasting alternative to fresh garlic. Rich in allicin, these flakes retain the health benefits of fresh garlic, including supporting heart health, boosting immunity, and reducing inflammation. They are commonly used in cooking, seasoning, and spice blends, offering a concentrated garlic flavor without the hassle of peeling and chopping. Widely cultivated in regions like China, India, and the U.S., dehydrated garlic flakes are a staple in many kitchens worldwide.
