Dried chopped garlic pieces are a convenient way to add the flavor and aroma of garlic to your stews or soup dishes. These dried garlic bits will rehydrate when cooked with liquids—or foodstuffs with a decent moisture content—and will release their savory, pungent flavors into your dish. Try these in broths or cooked with rice.

If you fry these pieces of dried garlic in oil, they won't rehydrate well. They will instead brown and harden. For frying, smaller dried garlic pieces or powder are recommended.
Our Vietnamese black peppercorns have an intense aroma, but a more mellow taste with flavor notes of wood. In this cracked form they are ideal for salads or foods in need of texture.
