A: In many cooked dishes they can taste stronger because the flavour concentrates as the garlic dries and then rehydrates during cooking. Q: Should flakes be soaked first? A: Not usually. They rehydrate well in soups, sauces and stews. For dry mixes, a brief soak can help soften them before use. Q: What is the difference between garlic flakes and garlic powder?

A: Flakes give texture and a more gradual release in cooking. Powder disperses instantly and blends smoothly into rubs and sauces.
