Exploring Garlic types
Minced Granules and Powder: Garlic comes in various forms – minced, granulated, and powdered – each adding a different twist to dishes across the culinary spectrum. When you use minced, it adds a strong and fresh flavor to dishes like buttered noodles, chicken dishes, and stir-fried vegetables. Granulated, which feels like salt, can be easily sprinkled on roasted green beans or mixed into mashed potatoes for a subtle garlic taste. On the other hand, powdered mixes seamlessly into bread dough or fries, making them taste incredibly delicious.
Irradiated: When it comes to getting garlic to people, a method called irradiation is a popular choice. It’s a way to make sure the garlic is good quality and stays fresh for a long time. By choosing irradiated, you’re not just giving people a consistent product; you’re also keeping the strong flavor and health benefits intact for a longer time. This special process uses controlled radiation to get rid of harmful stuff that could make the garlic go bad. This means it reaches its destination in great shape and assures everyone that they’re getting a safe and clean product they can enjoy without worries.
