Foster's Pickled Garlic Cloves in a Jar, Original, 16oz, 2 Pack, Traditional Pickled Vegetables Recipe for over 40 years, Low Calorie Snack, Gluten Free, Fat and Preservative Free Pickles

Foster’s Pickled Garlic Cloves have completely elevated my cooking game. Straight out of the jar, they’re tangy and flavorful, but where they really shine is when sautéed. Just a few minutes in a hot pan and they mellow out beautifully—soft, slightly sweet, and bursting with rich garlicky goodness. They’re amazing tossed into pastas, on top of grilled veggies, or as a finishing touch for meats. The pickling adds a depth of flavor you just can’t get from raw garlic. I keep a jar on hand at all times now—highly recommend to anyone who loves cooking with garlic.

Great tasting garlic

I'm a huge fan of pickled garlic, but stores around here have stopped carrying it for some reason. I haven't been able to find the brand I used to get and so I rolled the dice on these Foster's. It was a mistake. At first I worried about the seal being broken, as the package smelled of garlic and the color wasn't great (brine is brown, garlic is getting there). One of the jars also seems to be missing some liquid. The jar I opened did seem to be sealed, as the lid had no give before opening but now "pops" when pressed. But I'm still skeptical. The cloves themselves don't look good. The misleading images suggest a nice white clove, but these are grey, brown, and green. All the wrong colors. I know garlic can bruise and still be edible, but it's not a great visual. I tried some cloves, and whether it's a problem with the seal or just overall quality control...it isn't good. The flavor is very sweet and hot, and the garlic is strong in the wrong ways. The texture is mushy, lacking the crunch you'd expect. Even if these are "safe" and not compromised in terms of the seal and packing, I don't think I'll be able to eat and enjoy them. And why take the risk for such an unsatisfactory product? Really disappointed. Should have known better, won't be ordering food on Amazon again. Edit: Foster's reached out with an apology and a full refund on my order following this review, which I greatly appreciate. I won't change the contents of my review, nor did they ask me too. But I thought they deserved to be commended for their customer service in this case.

Very tasty just the right amount of spice and pickle flavor. Goes great with just about any food esoecially added to salads. Only thing i noticed the smaller sized garlics are thoroghly pickled and more crunchy. Which i like better. The larger sized are soft in the middle which makes them more like chewing uncooked garlic. Not sure if this is how they are suppose to be. I just prefer if all were thoroughly crisp and crunchy. Overall is very tasty and good flavoring. Very addictive too.

These are OK. Not the best I've had but they're good. They are spicy which was a pleasant surprise. The actual garlic looks like it could have been a little better selected as some have some slight dark spots on them. For the past almost three months I've started day with two cloves. I take them out kind of crush them with a fork to activate the alinin. Let then sit for 10 minutes and then eat them. Knock on wood I have not been sick during that stretch of time while others in my house have. That's one of the reasons why I started this routine. The other being blood pressure benefits. We'll see when I go to the Dr of its working for that.

These pickled garlic cloves are a must-try for fans of savory snacks and anyone wanting to elevate their salads or sides with a crisp, full-flavored addition. Their convenience, crunch, and well-crafted taste make them an excellent choice both for solo snacking and as a highlight in vegetable dishes.

Delicious but SPICY! Way too spicy for me lol. I didn’t pay attention to the label stating that there were red peppers in them. My last order was plain pickled garlic cloves. I’ll pass them on to my DiL. She loves spicy foods. ;-)

As gifts go this one won the day. My elder mother mentioned she has not had pickled garlic in years so after a good look around Fosters stood out. I believe the jar was open before the last gift was unwrapped. I will have to buy more. Mom loves them. Anyway the way there were packaged showed a quality in a product that we don’t usually see anymore. Overall it’s a must buy.
