PURPOSE
WHAT IS IT?
Garlic is one of the oldest known food flavorings of mankind. Why minced? Often, garlic is a mere role player, that has to play nicely with others, in the background of your dish’s taste palate. Like an undercover security officer, it has to blend in with the crowd.
When you want people to KNOW it’s there, either by tasting the little bits that don’t break down like garlic, or to have the textural crunch adds mouth-feel to your food, that’s when minced is magic!
EXPERIENCE
Garlic is an aromatic, and a savory. Minced, based on its cutting and drying process, adds texture. The toasting of the minced garlic intensifies flavor, giving it a bit more umami edge. It is not the perky fresh, nor the mellow roasted. The toasting shines through, dried, or rehydrated.
Left dried, it adds a bit of seasoned crunch to a bread topping, like a bagel, or cracker.
Reconstituted, with liquids, it can be used any number of ways.
