What particle size are Dehydrated Veg's garlic flakes available in?
Our garlic flakes are cut to 3-5 mm as standard. We can also process to a custom mesh size on request, and if you need a coarser or finer cut, our minced (1-3 mm) or granule (0.2-1 mm) grades may suit better.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for garlic flakes?
25 kg for a trial order, and 100 kg and above for bulk and export orders.
What is the shelf life of garlic flakes, and how should it be stored?
Garlic flakes carry a 12-month shelf life from date of manufacture. Store in a cool, dry place below 20°C, in a closed warehouse, away from humidity and dust, to retain the full shelf life.
How do dehydrated garlic flakes compare to fresh garlic in substitution ratio and flavour strength?
Dehydrated garlic flakes rehydrate at approximately 1:4, and the hot-air drying process retains the natural allicin compound, so they carry a concentrated version of fresh garlic's pungency and aroma. We recommend requesting a free sample to test the exact substitution ratio and flavour intensity for your specific formulation.
How fast can you ship garlic flakes samples and bulk orders?
Stock items typically ship the same day. Custom orders (specific mesh size or packaging) usually take 2-3 working days.

Dehydrated Garlic Flakes
Garlic’s pungency isn’t sitting in the clove waiting to be dried out — it’s created the moment the cell walls are cut, when an enzyme called alliinase converts an odourless compound into allicin, the thing that actually smells and tastes like garlic. That reaction happens fastest in the first few minutes after slicing, which is why the flakes are cut to 3-5mm and moved into hot-air drying immediately rather than being held or batched — the timing between the knife and the drier has a real, measurable effect on how pungent the finished flake tastes, more so than for a vegetable where flavour is simply “locked in” by drying rather than generated by cutting.
Why 3-5mm
At 3-5mm, a flake is small enough to rehydrate within a normal cook time but large enough to still register as a visible piece — which matters for buyers who want garlic to read as garlic in a finished product rather than disappear into a base the way powder does. If a formulation needs something coarser or finer, the same raw material runs through as minced (1-3mm), granules (0.2-1mm) or powder; flakes sit in the middle of that range and are the form most often substituted directly for fresh sliced garlic in a recipe.
Manufacturing Process
Farm-fresh bulbs are inspected and graded on arrival, then peeled, washed and sliced to 3-5mm before controlled hot-air dehydration. The dried flakes are sieved for uniform size, passed through metal detection and packed the same day in moisture-proof polybags — garlic’s natural oils make it more prone to clumping under humidity than most of the vegetables we process, so the gap between drying and sealing is kept short.
Where It’s Used
Garlic flakes go into soups, stews and casseroles where a textured piece is wanted, into dry rubs and savoury snack seasoning, garlic bread and bakery toppings, and into pickle and marinade production. RTE and HoReCa kitchens use flakes where a powder would disappear into the dish rather than being visible on the plate, and it’s also a standard input in pet food formulations.
