Dry Garlicसूखा लहसुन (Sukha Lahsun)
Properties
Dry Garlic (available as flakes, granules, or powder) is created by dehydrating fresh garlic cloves. This process concentrates the flavor, resulting in a robust, slightly toasted, and intensely savory profile compared to fresh garlic. It is highly valued for its long shelf life, ease of use in spice blends, and its ability to disperse evenly in dry rubs, marinades, and commercial food manufacturing without adding excess moisture.
