SPICE SPOTLIGHT: Garlic Flakes


Garlic has long been a staple in kitchens worldwide, prized for its bold flavour and numerous health benefits.



At Sweet Jinger, we're proud to offer high-quality dehydrated garlic flakes that bring convenience and versatility to your cooking. Let's dive into the benefits of using dehydrated garlic flakes, explore some recipe ideas, and uncover a few fun facts about this fantastic product.


Benefits of Using Dehydrated Garlic Flakes


1. Long Shelf Life

One of the biggest advantages of dehydrated garlic flakes is their extended shelf life. Unlike fresh garlic, which can spoil quickly, dehydrated garlic flakes can be stored for months without losing their flavour or potency. This makes them an excellent pantry staple for home cooks and chefs alike.


2. Convenience

Dehydrated garlic flakes save you time in the kitchen. There's no need to peel, chop, or mince—simply sprinkle the flakes into your dishes. This convenience is especially handy for busy weeknight meals or when you're in a hurry.


3. Intense Flavour

Dehydrated garlic flakes pack a punch of concentrated garlic flavour. When rehydrated, they release a robust aroma and taste that can elevate any dish. You can also use them directly in recipes to add a subtle crunch and rich flavour.


4. Health Benefits

Garlic is renowned for its health benefits, including its potential to boost the immune system, reduce blood pressure, and improve cholesterol levels. Dehydrated garlic flakes retain these beneficial properties, making them a healthy addition to your meals.


Recipe Ideas


1. Garlic Bread

Elevate your homemade garlic bread with dehydrated garlic flakes. Mix softened butter with garlic flakes, a pinch of Sweet Jinger's Italian herb blend, and a dash of salt. Spread the mixture on slices of baguette, then toast until golden brown.


2. Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Add a burst of flavour to your mashed potatoes by incorporating dehydrated garlic flakes. Rehydrate the flakes in a bit of warm water, then mix them into your mashed potatoes along with butter, cream, and a touch of salt.
