Dehydrated Garlic

Treedha's Dehydrated Garlic, known as Sukha Lehsun in India, originates exclusively from Mahuva in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, India. This coastal lowland area provides ideal climatic conditions for cultivating high-quality garlic, Allium sativum, distinguished by its robust flavour profile.

The single-origin sourcing from Mahuva ensures consistent product characteristics, which is critical for bulk buyers seeking reliability in their supply chain. The region's distinct terroir contributes to the garlic's inherent potency, making it a preferred choice for various food applications worldwide. Treedha maintains close relationships with growers in this prime region, ensuring full provenance and sustainable sourcing practices for A-Grade export quality.

Treedha offers A-Grade export Dehydrated Garlic (Ajo deshidratado), available as flakes, granules, or powder, all hot-air dehydrated to a maximum moisture content of 6%. This low moisture ensures extended shelf life and prevents microbial growth during transit and storage. Our processing meticulously maintains the garlic's natural white to light yellow/cream colour and characteristic pungent aroma, free from off-flavours.

Our Dehydrated Garlic flakes, granules, and powder undergo a stringent screening process to guarantee purity (typically 99%) and uniform granulation. Common mesh sizes for granules include 8-16 mesh, 16-26 mesh, 20-40 mesh, and 40-60 mesh, while powder is typically 80-100 mesh or 100-120 mesh. This allows importers to select the precise form suited for their specific industrial applications, from seasoning blends to ready-to-eat meals.

Treedha prioritises the highest standards of quality and safety for our Dehydrated Garlic (Sukha Lehsun), ensuring full compliance with international import regulations, particularly for the EU and US markets. Our commitment to food safety is evidenced by our steam-sterilisation process, which guarantees the product is ETO-free (Ethylene Oxide-free), a critical requirement for EU imports where ETO is not permitted as a sterilising agent for foodstuffs.

Each batch undergoes rigorous lab testing to meet global Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides, aflatoxins, and heavy metals. For aflatoxins, we adhere to EU limits of 5.0 µg/kg for B1 and 10.0 µg/kg for total aflatoxins, as per Regulation (EU) No. 915/2023. Our products are also tested for heavy metals, with lead limits typically aligning with EU Regulation 2021/1317 (e.g., 0.6 mg/kg for fruit spices) and industry guidance from the American Spice Trade Association (ASTA).

Microbiological safety is paramount; our Dehydrated Garlic is guaranteed to be Salmonella-free (Not detected in 25g), E. coli-free, and within acceptable limits for Total Plate Count, Yeast, and Mould. Furthermore, all products are tested to ensure freedom from harmful Sudan dyes, which are strictly prohibited in food products in both the EU and US. Treedha provides a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, along with a Phytosanitary Certificate and Certificate of Origin, ensuring transparent documentation and traceability for our global buyers.

The global demand for Dehydrated Garlic (Garlic flakes, Garlic granules, Allium sativum) continues to grow, primarily driven by its unparalleled convenience and extended shelf-stability compared to fresh garlic. This makes it an indispensable ingredient for large-scale food manufacturing, where consistency in flavour, reduced logistics costs, and lower wastage are key. The increasing global consumption of processed, ready-to-eat (RTE), and ready-to-cook foods, including snacks, soups, sauces, meat products, and seasoning blends, further fuels this demand.

Treedha actively exports Indian Dehydrated Garlic to key international markets, including the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, UAE, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Japan. These markets value the cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency that dehydrated garlic offers. Additionally, a rising preference for clean-label and organic options, alongside applications in nutraceuticals, contributes to sustained market expansion and diversified demand for high-quality Sukha Lehsun.
