Dehydrated garlic is just as good as fresh garlic. In some ways, dehydrated garlic is more advantageous. Allicin is the main active component of garlic, and it is also the source of garlic's unique spicy and pungent taste. In fresh garlic, there is no free allicin, only its precursor - alliin. When garlic is processed into dehydrated garlic, the two components contained in alliin and alliinase contact each other to form allicin, which emits a strong pungent smell. The content of allicin in garlic is only about 0.1%, but it is the essence of garlic, which has a strong immune enhancement and bactericidal effect.
