crushed garlic
Pulverized aromatic bulb
Crushed garlic is garlic that has been broken down by pressing or smashing rather than slicing or mincing.
Crushing ruptures more cell walls, releasing stronger flavor and aroma than chopping alone.
It's sold in jars as a convenience product or made fresh with the flat of a knife or a garlic press: Add two cloves of crushed garlic to the pan.
