Garlic minced refers to garlic that has been finely chopped or minced into small pieces. It can be found fresh or in various processed forms such as pre-minced in jars, frozen, or dried. When fresh, it is typically made by chopping garlic cloves into tiny bits, releasing their potent flavor and aroma.

Minced garlic is widely used in cooking for its strong, pungent flavor and versatility. It is commonly used in sauces, stir-fries, marinades, soups, stews, and dressings, as well as in meat and vegetable dishes. Fresh minced garlic is known for its bold taste and aroma, while pre-minced varieties offer convenience without sacrificing much of the flavor.

Minced garlic is favored for dishes that require the garlic to blend smoothly with other ingredients, offering a savory depth of flavor that complements a wide range of cuisines.
