Garlic Granules for Export: Quality Parameters, Packaging, and Storage

At G Grow Agri International, we believe that quality food ingredients begin at the farm and reach the global market only after careful handling, scientific processing, and strict quality control. Among our most trusted export products, Garlic Granules stand out for their aroma, purity, uniformity, and long shelf life.

Garlic has been used for centuries not only as a flavor enhancer but also as a powerful natural ingredient valued for its health-supporting properties. With rising global demand for clean-label, natural, and convenient food ingredients, dehydrated garlic products—especially garlic granules—have become essential in food manufacturing, seasoning blends, and culinary applications worldwide.

In this article, we explain why Indian garlic is globally preferred, how our garlic granules are processed, the quality parameters we follow, and how packaging and storage ensure consistent quality for export markets.

India Is the Second Largest Producer of Garlic in the World

India is the second largest producer of garlic globally, and this position is well-earned. The country’s diverse climate, fertile soil, and traditional farming practices contribute to garlic bulbs with strong flavor, rich aroma, and attractive natural color.

Indian garlic is especially valued for:

• Bold, pungent taste

• High essential oil content

• Natural creamy white to light brown color

• Excellent dehydration suitability

  
  

Because of these characteristics, Indian garlic is widely preferred by international buyers for producing garlic granules, garlic powder, garlic flakes, and minced garlic.

At G Grow Agri International, we source garlic directly from trusted farming regions known for consistent quality. This allows us to maintain traceability, freshness, and compliance with global export standards.

Why Indian Garlic Taste and Colour Are Considered the Best

What sets Indian garlic apart is its intense taste and stable color after dehydration. Unlike garlic grown in colder regions, Indian garlic develops a deeper flavor due to longer sunlight exposure and soil mineral richness.

From a buyer’s perspective, this means:

• Less quantity required to achieve strong flavor

• Better color retention in dehydrated form

• Higher acceptance in food processing applications

  
  

These qualities make Indian garlic granules ideal for:

• Ready-to-eat meals

• Snack seasonings

• Sauces and soups

• Bakery and frozen foods

• Health-oriented formulations

  
  

Dehydrated Garlic Clove Production Process at G Grow Agri International

Quality garlic granules begin with careful raw material selection. At our facility, dehydration is not treated as a single step but as a controlled multi-stage process designed to preserve flavor, color, and nutritional integrity.

1. Selection of Superior Garlic

We start by selecting mature, firm, disease-free garlic bulbs. Only garlic that meets size, aroma, and freshness benchmarks moves forward.

2. Shelling and Peeling

The outer shells are removed using hygienic mechanical processes. The cloves are then peeled to ensure clean surfaces, free from impurities.

3. Washing

Garlic cloves are thoroughly washed using food-grade water to remove soil, residue, and external contaminants.

4. Baking (Dehydrating)

The cloves undergo controlled dehydration at optimized temperatures. This step:

• Removes moisture without burning

• Preserves volatile flavor compounds

• Maintains natural color

  
  

5. Moisture Balancing

After dehydration, moisture levels are balanced to ensure uniformity across batches. This step is critical for:

• Preventing microbial growth

• Achieving long shelf life

• Maintaining texture

  
  

6. Granulation

Dried cloves are milled into uniform garlic granules, maintaining intact structure and regular appearance.

7. Sorting and Packaging

Granules are sorted to remove fines or oversized particles, then packed under hygienic conditions.

Key Features of Our Garlic Granules

Our dehydrated garlic granules are known for:
