Granulated Garlic

Pellicano's Granulated Garlic

The Superior Aromatic for Blending

Pellicano's Granulated Garlic is a kitchen essential, offering a convenient way to add the pungent, distinctive flavor of fresh garlic to any dish. It is created by drying and grinding garlic cloves into a texture that is coarser than powder but finer than flakes. This granular consistency is the key to its versatility: it blends smoothly into spice rubs and seasoning mixes without the risk of clumping or packing, ensuring consistent flavor distribution.

The flavor is sharp, savory, and pure garlic, without the mellow sweetness of roasted garlic or the slight bitterness that can sometimes accompany garlic powder. This true-to-life profile makes it the go-to dry garlic form for savory applications where consistent texture and powerful aroma are paramount.

Versatile Use in Rubs and Sauces

Granulated garlic's unique texture makes it the preferred form for many cooking methods:

• Dry Rubs: An indispensable component in barbecue rubs for pork, chicken, and beef, providing a uniform garlic punch without clumping with salt and other spices.
• Seasoning Crusts: Sprinkle generously on prime rib, pork tenderloin, or poultry before roasting to create an aromatic, flavorful crust.
• Marinades and Sauces: Rehydrates smoothly in oil and vinegar for salad dressings, or mixes into tomato and cream sauces without leaving a gritty texture.
• Pizza and Bread: Shake directly onto homemade pizza dough, or mix into oil for bruschetta and garlic bread.
• Finishing: Use to quickly season vegetables, eggs, or popcorn, providing a stronger flavor than onion powder or salt alone.

Fun Fact: Concentrated Powerhouse

The convenience of granulated garlic hides an incredible concentration of flavor. Because fresh garlic loses about 75% of its weight in water when dried, the flavor is highly concentrated. As a rule of thumb, 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic provides the pungent flavor equivalent of about 4 medium-sized fresh cloves! This potency makes it a true powerhouse for seasoning large quantities of meat, sauces, or vegetables without needing excessive amounts of fresh cloves.
