About Granulated garlic
Granulated garlic is a coarsely ground form of dried garlic cloves, commonly used as a seasoning in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and North American dishes. It offers a more robust and slightly less intense flavor compared to garlic powder, making it versatile in seasoning blends, marinades, and rubs. From a nutritional standpoint, granulated garlic contains small amounts of essential nutrients like manganese, vitamin B6, and selenium, along with sulfur compounds like allicin, which provide many of its health benefits. It is low in calories, with about 10 calories per teaspoon, and contains trace amounts of carbohydrates and protein.
Health Benefits
- Supports immune function, as it contains allicin, a sulfur compound known for its antimicrobial properties.
- Promotes heart health by contributing to reduced blood pressure and cholesterol levels, thanks to its sulfur compounds.
- Provides antioxidants, including selenium, which protect cells from oxidative damage.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain flavor and potency.
