A great substitute for garlic or shallot! Rehydrate the herbs by letting them bloom in water for 1-2 minutes then drain excess water.  Cooking tip: If skipping rehydration, begin cooking with low heat to prevent burning. Use to marinate any seafood dishes as the herbs help remove the fishy taste.  Please note this product cooks quickly with the heat on.
