minced garlic

Diced aromatic bulb

Minced garlic is garlic that has been chopped into very small pieces, finer than diced but not as smooth as a paste.

It's a common form called for in recipes because the small pieces distribute flavor evenly and cook quickly: Add two tablespoons of minced garlic to the pan.

Jars of pre-minced garlic are kitchen staples, though fresh-minced has stronger flavor.
