How are these compared to fresh iv tried frozen and there not very good end up getting hot garlic trown at me from the pan

​yeh they defo have wierd smell but seems fine once cooked. I wouldn't say they were exactly fresh fresh, more processed but great for when marinating meat chicken etc

I use these and think they smell pickled! I guessed they pickle to preserve?
Great price.

I suppose these might be handy for bone idle people who don't know how to use a knife.

How much is in the jars? Did search on Asda website but no results. Price is good, but sounds like - see Michelle1981 - they are in vinegar which means cold for me. No need for vinegar to preserve - better to use brine.

The smell really put me off these so I can't recommend. It almost smells fake. Personally, I had to go back to the proper stuff. As others have said, it doesn't take long to puree a couple of cloves of garlic in a press or on a chopping board.

robin5858 - I suppose its a frequent issue - taste versus health. Of course you don't eat the brine, and you don't need to add extra salt if using brined prepared garlic but the taste of vinegar is strong and unappealing except with fish & chips!

Very handy for a quick curry base.....so much better than the mess and chance of it going off in storage associated with fresh stuff

I have this. It almost a hummous like consistency

cheers op
used to use this stuff every time
different brand same jarred idea from home bargains
until Santa brought me a garlic press
