Garlic flakes are dehydrated pieces of garlic that are used as a seasoning or condiment. They are made by thinly slicing fresh garlic and drying it until it is crispy. Garlic flakes can be used in a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. They can also be used as a topping for pizzas, salads, and other dishes. Garlic flakes have a strong garlic flavor and aroma. They are a good substitute for fresh garlic when you don't have time to peel and mince fresh cloves. Garlic flakes are also a good option for people who find fresh garlic to be too strong. Garlic flakes are a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as manganese and selenium. They also contain antioxidants that can help to protect your cells from damage.
Add garlic flakes to dishes at the beginning of cooking to allow the flavor to develop.
Use garlic flakes in moderation, as they can be quite strong.
If you are using garlic flakes in a dish that will be cooked for a long time, add them towards the end of cooking so that they don't become overcooked.
Store garlic flakes in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. Garlic flakes will keep for up to a year.
