What Are Dehydrated Garlic Flakes?
Dehydrated garlic flakes are sliced and dried garlic pieces produced from fresh garlic bulbs. They retain strong pungency, long shelf life and are widely used in spice blends, snacks, ready meals and seasoning industries.

Garlic Flakes Manufacturing & Dehydration Process
Our dehydrated garlic flakes are processed in a highly controlled environment to retain their pungent aroma, natural white-to-cream color, and microbiological safety for global export.
- Sourcing & Clove Separation: Fresh, mature garlic bulbs are sourced and mechanically broken down into individual cloves.
- Peeling & Washing: Cloves undergo automated peeling and rigorous water washing to remove all skins, roots, and field soil.
- Precision Slicing: Cleaned cloves are sliced uniformly to ensure consistent drying and an excellent end-product texture.
- Hot-Air Dehydration: The slices pass through continuous hot-air dryers with strict temperature monitoring to achieve optimum moisture levels (below 6%) without burning.
- Optical Sorting: Dried flakes are processed through advanced Buhler Sortex machines to remove discolored pieces and impurities.
- Safety & Packing: The final export-grade flakes are passed through metal detectors and packed in double-poly lined paper bags/cartons to prevent moisture ingress during shipping.
