What is granulated garlic?
The’Wheat flour It is made from dried garlic cloves, coarsely ground into small, regular granules. Unlike very fine garlic powder or fresh garlic, its granular texture allows it to dissolve slowly in slow-cooked dishes while quickly releasing its aroma in sautéed preparations. Once harvested, we carefully dry and process the cloves to obtain these golden granules with an authentic aroma, which we offer you at Madras Épices.
What is the difference between granulated garlic and garlic powder?
Good question! Garlic granules and garlic powder both come from the same vegetable, but they don't behave quite the same way in cooking. Garlic powder is very finely ground and dissolves instantly. On the other hand, garlic granules have a coarser texture which allows them to diffuse gradually into dishes. Therefore, they are particularly well-suited to stews, dry marinades and barbecue rubs.

Unlike fresh garlic, which can sometimes be very strong, its flavour is more consistent and controlled. In short, it's an essential staple ingredient that enhances all dishes without ever unbalancing them.
