California Minced Garlic delivers bold, robust garlic flavor with a clean, savory finish and excellent texture retention. Made from fresh California garlic that’s picked, cleaned, minced, and dried, this 8–20 mesh cut provides both flavor and visible garlic presence in finished dishes. This format is ideal for kitchens and manufacturers that want texture + flavor without the labor, waste, or inconsistency of fresh garlic. It hydrates quickly, disperses evenly, and holds up in long‑cook applications.
