Garlic granules are a type of dried, ground garlic that has been processed into small, granular pieces. They are typically made by dehydrating fresh garlic cloves and then grinding them into a coarse powder. Garlic granules offer a more subtle, less intense flavor compared to garlic powder and are often used as a seasoning or spice in cooking.

The granules retain the aromatic, savory, and slightly pungent taste of fresh garlic, and they can easily dissolve into sauces, soups, marinades, and rubs. They're a convenient alternative to fresh garlic, as they have a long shelf life and are easy to store. Garlic granules are commonly used in various cuisines, including Italian, Mediterranean, and American dishes.
