Garlic puree is garlic processed into a paste for use in cooking. These figures describe prepared garlic puree rather than raw garlic. It mainly provides fat and carbohydrate, with a smaller amount of protein. Per 100g, it contains 34g of fat, 17g of sugars, 3.5g of protein and 6.8g of salt.

The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as too much salt can raise blood pressure. Fat provides energy, so the amount of puree used affects its contribution to the energy content of a meal. The sugar content may also be relevant for people monitoring sugar intake.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (8 samples, 4 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
