To use, simply open a packet and add the chopped garlic directly to your cooking. It can be sautéed in oil at the beginning of a recipe to build a flavor base, stirred into sauces towards the end for a brighter garlic taste, or mixed into marinades for meats and vegetables. The pre-portioned packets make it easy to control the amount of garlic used in any dish, ensuring consistent flavor without the mess of mincing fresh cloves. It dissolves readily into most liquids.
