About Dehydrated Garlic Flakes
DEHYDRATED GARLIC FLAKES

The dehydration process reduces moisture content while preserving the characteristic flavor, aroma, and pungency of fresh garlic. The product appears as off-white to light cream-colored flakes with a typical strong garlic odor and taste.

FAQ's of Dehydrated Garlic Flakes:
Q: How are dehydrated garlic flakes produced?
A: Our garlic flakes are mechanically hot air dried, which involves carefully slicing fresh garlic and exposing it to controlled warm air. This process preserves the strong garlic aroma and pungent, spicy taste while reducing moisture to below 6%, ensuring the flakes remain shelf-stable without additives or preservatives.
Q: What is the recommended way to use dehydrated garlic flakes in cooking?
A: You can add the flakes directly to soups, sauces, spice mixes, or ready-to-eat foods. For dishes requiring a softer texture or fresh garlic flavor, simply rehydrate the flakes by soaking them in water using a 1:4 ratio before use.
Q: When does the product expire and how should it be stored?
A: Our dehydrated garlic flakes have a shelf life of three months from the date of packing. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep the packaging sealed to maintain optimum quality and aroma.

A: These garlic flakes are ideal for commercial kitchens, food manufacturers, restaurants, and home use, especially in recipes where both convenience and strong garlic aroma are desired. They are suitable for a wide range of cuisines and food products.
Q: What are the benefits of using dehydrated garlic flakes instead of fresh garlic?
A: Dehydrated garlic flakes offer a longer shelf life, convenient storage, and ease of use without peeling or chopping. They rehydrate quickly, deliver consistent pungency, and are free from gluten, additives, and preservatives, making them a healthy alternative.
Q: How does the rehydration process work for these garlic flakes?
A: To rehydrate, soak one part of garlic flakes in four parts water. The flakes will absorb the water, softening and regaining a texture similar to fresh garlic, ready for use in your recipes.
Q: What quality standards are maintained for these garlic flakes?
A: Our garlic flakes are ensured to have a minimum purity of 99% and a maximum admixture of 1%, with every batch checked for color, shape, and aroma. They are free from foreign matter and manufactured following stringent hygiene protocols in India, guaranteeing premium quality.
