Grated Garlic

• To quickly infuse flavor into sauces and dressings, grated garlic distributes evenly and dissolves easily, ensuring a consistent garlic taste throughout the preparation.
• When making marinades for meats, poultry, or vegetables, grating the garlic allows its flavors to deeply penetrate the ingredients, creating a richer, more flavorful dish.
• Adding grated garlic to stir-fries towards the end of cooking provides a burst of fresh garlic flavor without the risk of burning, ensuring a pungent and aromatic final product.
• As a topping for bruschetta or crostini, grated garlic offers a concentrated garlic punch, complementing the other ingredients and creating a flavorful appetizer.
• Incorporating grated garlic into homemade dips, such as hummus or tzatziki, delivers an intense garlic flavor that blends seamlessly with the other components, producing a well-balanced and delicious dip.
• For adding to soups and stews, grated garlic easily disperses throughout the liquid, imparting a subtle garlic aroma and flavor that enhances the overall taste of the dish.

• Boosts immune system function due to its allicin content.
• Supports heart health by helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
• Contains antioxidant properties that combat free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
• May possess anti-inflammatory effects, potentially alleviating symptoms of inflammatory conditions.
• Provides manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and selenium, contributing to overall nutritional intake.

Grated garlic is best used immediately for the most potent flavor and health benefits. If you must store it, keep it refrigerated in an airtight container with a bit of olive oil to help prevent oxidation and maintain moisture. Properly stored, it may last up to a week, but flavor will diminish over time. Freezing is not recommended, as it significantly alters the texture and taste. Avoid storing garlic in water, as this can promote bacterial growth.
