Garlic flakes are dried, sliced garlic cloves. They keep the sharp, savoury taste of fresh garlic in a form that stores well and needs no peeling. The product belongs to the dried vegetables category and is used in both home and professional kitchens.
The flakes are made by drying fresh garlic and cutting it into small, irregular pieces. They rehydrate when added to liquid, so they work in sauces, soups, stews and marinades. Unlike garlic powder, garlic flakes keep a visible texture and release flavour more slowly during cooking.
Use them in place of fresh garlic where convenience matters. Add the flakes directly to hot dishes, or soak them in warm water for a few minutes to soften. One teaspoon roughly equals one fresh clove, though the strength depends on the dish and cooking time.
The product suits cafes, bakeries, catering and food production. It is also practical for home kitchens that want garlic on hand without peeling and chopping. The flakes mix well into minced meat, dressings, spice blends and dry rubs.
Packaging is available in 250 g, 500 g, 750 g, 1000 g and 1500 g. Larger sizes fit kitchens with regular, high-volume use, while smaller packs suit occasional cooking. The resealable format helps protect the product between uses.
Store garlic flakes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Keep the pack closed after opening to protect the aroma and prevent moisture from getting in. Properly stored, the flakes stay dry and free-flowing, ready for the next dish.
