COST SAVINGS WITH GINGER & GARLIC GRANULES

HOW TO REDUCE POTATO WASTAGE FOR LARGE SCALE KITCHENS!

Fresh potatoes spoil quickly, prep takes time, and trimmings lead to unnecessary waste in large-scale kitchens. Dehydrated potatoes solve this by offering a longer shelf life, consistent quality, and the flexibility to rehydrate only what you need. With predictable size, texture, and yield across flakes, granules, cubes, and shreds, kitchens gain better control, reduce wastage, and deliver consistent results every time.

COST SAVINGS WITH GINGER & GARLIC GRANULES

Ginger and garlic granules provide a convenient, consistent, and hygienic solution for adding authentic flavor to a wide range of culinary and food manufacturing applications. Produced through controlled dehydration of fresh ginger and garlic, these granules retain their natural aroma and pungency while offering superior shelf stability and ease of use.

In professional kitchens, QSRs, and food processing units, ginger and garlic granules are ideal for spice blends, marinades, dry rubs, gravies, sauces, soups, and ready-to-cook formulations. Their uniform granule size ensures even dispersion of flavor, eliminating batch-to-batch variation commonly associated with fresh ingredients.

One Ingredient. Countless Applications.

COST SAVINGS WITH GINGER & GARLIC GRANULES

Benefits of Garlic and Ginger Granules

Knoxx Garlic and Ginger Granules are designed for food manufacturers and large-scale kitchens that require cost efficiency, flavour consistency, and process control, without the waste and variability associated with pre-made pastes.

Key benefits include:

Cost savings: Reduced write-offs, predictable yield, and better cost-per-serve control compared to bulk garlic and ginger pastes.
Reduced waste: Prepare only what each batch requires, eliminating spoilage and unused paste.
Flavour control: Adjust strength, texture, and intensity to suit different recipes and applications.
Consistent performance: Granulated format delivers reliable results across production runs.
Space efficiency: Compact, ambient storage replaces bulky tubs and chilled paste formats.
Cleaner labels: Greater control over ingredient declarations compared to many off-the-shelf pastes that contain additives.

Applications for Garlic and Ginger Granules

Garlic and ginger granules are highly versatile and perform reliably across a wide range of food manufacturing and foodservice applications where fresh flavour and consistency are critical.

Common applications include:

Curries and gravies
Marinades and spice pastes
Stir-fries and noodle dishes
Sauces, dressings, and condiments
Ready meals and frozen meal components

Their ability to rehydrate quickly and deliver clean, balanced flavour makes them ideal for central kitchens, NPD teams, ready-meal producers, and high-volume foodservice operations.

How to Use Garlic and Ginger Granules

Garlic and ginger granules allow you to produce fresh paste on demand, tailored to your recipe and process requirements.

Standard preparation guide:

Use 100 grams of granules to 300 millilitres of water.
Allow to soak for approximately 60 minutes to fully rehydrate.
Grind to the desired consistency.
Adjust water volume or grinding time to achieve the required texture and strength.

Batch control benefits:

Prepare only the quantity required for each batch.
Maintain consistent flavour across production runs.
Reduce waste associated with opened paste containers.
Improve predictability in cost per serve and formulation.

As a guide, 100 grams of Garlic or Ginger Granules yields approximately 300 - 350grams when rehydrated, supporting accurate yield planning and cost-per-serve calculations.

This approach gives procurement and NPD teams greater control over ingredient performance, flavour outcomes, and operational efficiency.
