Flora Fresh Garlic Cloves in Water
What it is
These are whole garlic cloves that have been peeled and preserved in a light brine of water. The water helps to keep the garlic tender and ready to use. They offer the distinct flavor of garlic without the need for fresh preparation. This product is designed for convenience in the kitchen.
How people cook with it
This convenient product is ready to be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes. It saves time on peeling and mincing fresh garlic.
- Flavoring sauces and marinades
- Adding to stir-fries
- Infusing oils
- Roasting with vegetables
Simply drain the cloves from the water and use them as you would fresh garlic. You can add them whole to dishes that will simmer for a while, allowing their flavor to meld. For a more intense garlic taste, you can lightly mash them before adding them to your cooking. They can also be chopped or minced to distribute their flavor more evenly throughout a dish. Their pre-prepared state makes them ideal for quick meal preparation.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh garlic, these cloves are already peeled and softened, which eliminates the need for chopping or mincing. The brining liquid imparts a subtle moisture, making them less sharp than raw garlic and easier to incorporate into dishes where a strong, raw garlic bite is not desired.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add garlic flavor to their meals will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused garlic cloves in their original liquid in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Ensure the cloves remain submerged in the liquid to maintain their quality and prevent them from drying out. They should be used within a few days.
