Native of Natural offers Premium Dehydrated Garlic Flakes and Cloves (Allium sativum), a highly concentrated and shelf-stable form of fresh garlic. Garlic is universally valued for its intense, pungent flavor and its active sulfur compounds, primarily Allicin, which are responsible for its aroma and numerous health benefits.
Our dehydration process removes nearly all moisture, locking in the flavor and nutrients, while reducing weight and extending the shelf life significantly. Dehydrated garlic is a convenient and essential ingredient for food processing, replacing the need to peel and chop fresh garlic.
