Garlic granules are dried and ground garlic that have been processed into small, coarse particles, similar in texture to coarse salt or small breadcrumbs. They are a convenient alternative to fresh garlic and offer a slightly milder, less intense flavour than garlic powder, but more concentrated than garlic salt. Garlic granules have a warm, pungent, savoury flavour and are widely used in cooking for added depth and aroma.
