Garlic, Minced

Garlic, affectionately known as "the stinking rose," is a member of the onion family that is native to central and southwestern Asia. Although the leaves and flowers of the plant are edible the real prize is the mature bulb, which is separated into multiple "cloves."

Granulated garlic is a convenient way to get full-bodied garlic flavor into soups, stews and other foods.
