McCormick Minced Garlic has a smoother, mellower flavor than raw garlic. Keep it on hand to use in any savory dish that calls for fresh garlic no peeling or chopping needed! It rehydrates quickly in soups, stews, dressings and marinades. Our Minced Garlic always starts with fresh, whole garlic cloves that have been dried and minced. Its just garlic theres no fillers or preservatives. When dried, garlic takes on a mellower, rounder flavor than raw garlic. It adds warmth and depth to everything from tomato sauce and minestrone to beans and beef stew. A kitchen staple, every bottle delivers consistent, delicious flavor and aroma while maintaining a longer shelf life. Use 1/4 tsp. minced garlic in place of 1 clove of fresh garlic.
