Garlic, Minced

Also Known As – Allium sativum

Organically Grown USA

Overview - Garlic has been employed as a food and medicine for thousands of years and was mentioned by Virgil (70-19 BCE) in his book of mythic poetry, The Eclogues. Its virtues have also been praised by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates,7 the ancient Greek philosopher and botanist Theophrastus, and then later the ancient Roman philosopher and naturalist, Pliny.5 It was used medicinally and was utilized in ritual offerings and invocations as well.

Garlic Flakes are small, dehydrated pieces of garlic. 

The pieces are larger than in Garlic Powder or Garlic Granules. And, it's a more expensive product than Garlic Salt, as it's not diluted with salt.

You use Garlic Flakes in liquid dishes that undergo some cooking time, to soften the pieces and let them release the garlic flavour. Typical dishes in which they are used include soups, stews, sauces, meat loaves, and casseroles. Garlic Flakes don't work in items such as an oil and vinegar salad dressing: a dressing has the liquid, but doesn't have the cooking.

Medicinal Uses - Garlic has antiseptic and disinfectant properties. The German Commission E approved the use of garlic to support balanced cholesterol levels and to support a healthy vascular system.9 Several studies on garlic date back into the 50's and even before.

Parts Used - The root or rhizome is the portion of the plant.
