Pungnyeon Minced Garlic is made from fresh garlic that has been washed, peeled, finely minced, and preserved by freezing. The ingredient list is 100% garlic with no additives. Compared to fresh garlic, it eliminates the time-consuming steps of peeling and chopping, significantly reducing preparation time. Because it is preserved frozen, the characteristic flavour and aroma of garlic are well retained, and you can take out only as much as you need with no waste. Garlic is an essential ingredient used in virtually every dish in Korean households, and this frozen minced garlic is designed to maximise that convenience.

Yes. Pungnyeon Minced Garlic is made entirely from garlic (100%) and is fully suitable for both Vegan and Vegetarian diets. It is also Halal certified and contains no gluten, making it safe for those following a gluten-free diet. However, for cross-contamination risks within the production facility, we recommend contacting the manufacturer (PAN ASIA / Pungnyeon) directly to obtain the official allergen declaration.

The product must be stored frozen at or below -18°C. Before opening, it can be kept frozen until the best-before date printed on the packaging. After opening, scoop out only the amount you need and reseal the remainder for immediate return to the freezer. Any thawed portion should be transferred to the refrigerator (at or below 4°C) and used within 1–2 days; refreezing is not recommended as it may compromise quality. The product can be added directly to a hot pan or boiling broth straight from frozen, making it extremely convenient to use.

Absolutely — it can be used in any European dish that calls for garlic, such as pasta, stir-fries, and soups. However, this product truly shines in Korean cooking. In Korean cuisine, minced garlic is a fundamental ingredient in virtually every dish, including Bulgogi, Dak Bokkeum Tang (braised spicy chicken), Kimchi Jjigae, Doenjang Jjigae, and various seasoned vegetable side dishes. Garlic is the key element that creates the deep umami and aroma of Korean cooking — much like herbs provide fragrance in European cuisine, garlic plays that defining role in Korean dishes. The generous 900g size means you can continue exploring a wide variety of Korean recipes over time.
