Can You Refreeze Frozen Garlic? Dorot Gardens Answers!

You pulled your garlic tray out of the freezer, used a few cubes, then got distracted. Now it’s been sitting out for a while… and you’re wondering:

Can you refreeze frozen garlic? Or is it game over for your favorite frozen garlic cubes?

Let’s settle this once and for all—because how you store frozen garlic matters for flavor, freshness, and food safety.

Keep reading to learn what actually happens when you refreeze frozen garlic, why you probably don’t need to, and how Dorot Gardens keeps it simple. 

Let’s dig in.

Can You Refreeze Frozen Garlic?

The short answer? It’s not recommended.
While you can technically refreeze frozen garlic, doing so comes with drawbacks and food safety risks.

Here’s what happens when frozen garlic cubes are thawed and frozen again:

1. Texture Degrades

Refreezing it can change its texture. The cubes often become mushy or watery. That snap of freshness? Gone.

2. Flavor Fades

It gets its bold taste from the natural oils locked in at peak freshness. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles dull that flavor fast.

3. It’s Not Always Safe

If your frozen garlic cubes sit out for more than two hours, they enter the food safety “danger zone” (40°F–140°F). That’s when bacteria can grow, and it’s best to avoid refreezing completely.

So if you’ve ever asked, “Can you refreeze frozen garlic?”—the safest move is not to.

Why Dorot Gardens Garlic Is Different

With Dorot Gardens, you never need to think about refreezing. Our garlic cubes are designed to avoid this issue altogether.

Here’s how we do it:

• Flash-frozen right after harvest for maximum flavor
• Packaged in 1-teaspoon cubes—equivalent to one garlic clove
• Stored in the freezer and ready to use instantly
• Designed to be used one cube at a time, so you never thaw more than you need

You simply pop a cube from the tray, drop it in your pan, and you’re done. No thawing. No mess. No refreezing.

What If the Garlic Tray Was Left Out?

Hey, it happens. Here’s how to handle it:

• If your tray of frozen garlic cubes has been out less than 2 hours and still feels cold, you can place it back in the freezer. Texture might shift a bit, but it’s generally safe.
• If it’s been out longer or has fully thawed, it’s best to use the garlic immediately or discard the rest. Don’t refreeze.

That’s why Dorot Gardens’ cube design is so helpful: you only remove what you need. Your frozen cube tray stays safely sealed in the freezer.

Why Most Frozen Garlic Isn’t This Easy

Other types of frozen cubes can leave you wondering what to do. Bags of pre-chopped garlic, jars of frozen garlic paste, or homemade frozen cubes don’t offer clear portioning. And once thawed, they need to be used quickly or tossed.

Dorot Gardens takes the guesswork out of it. 

Our garlic cubes are perfectly portioned, sealed, and freezer-ready with a two-year shelf life.

It’s fresh flavor, simplified.

How to Store Dorot Gardens Garlic Cubes

To keep your garlic cubes at peak quality:

• Store trays flat in the freezer (not on the door)
• Take only what you need — never thaw the full tray
• Add cubes directly to your skillet, sauce, soup, or stir-fry
• Reseal the tray after each use to avoid air exposure

And just in case you need a refresher:

• 1 cube = 1 garlic clove
• No peeling, chopping, or cleanup required
