House Foods Launches New Garlic Series

House Foods Co., Ltd. is gearing up to release two exciting new products this February 9, 2026, as part of its "Garlic Family" series. The new offerings, titled "Garlic Vegetable Stir-Fry Mix" and "Garlic Broccoli Mix," will be available in supermarkets across the country. This unique series of seasonings is specifically designed for garlic dishes, combining various garlic flavors to elevate home cooking with ease and convenience.

About the Garlic Family Series

The "Garlic Family" series features special seasonings created to complement different menu items, allowing home cooks to easily enjoy the rich flavors of garlic. The series includes a range of previous favorites like "Garlic Ajillo Mix," "Garlic Potato Mix," and "Garlic Chicken Mix." Each seasoning is engineered to deliver a robust garlic punch, making it simple for even novice cooks to create delightful dishes.

Highlighted Features of New Products

1. Robust Garlic Flavor: This series utilizes multiple garlic ingredients, creating a deep and addictive garlic flavor. Home cooks can easily prepare dishes by simply coating food or stir-frying with the mix. The two new products bring a satisfying and delicious experience to the dining table.

2. Convenient Ingredients: The "Garlic Vegetable Stir-Fry Mix" incorporates cut vegetables that require no preparation. Incorporating the growing trend of convenience, this product is designed for consumers who seek out pre-prepped vegetables. It provides a hearty taste without the need for extra meat, thanks to the combination of three types of garlic, meat extracts, and sauce ingredients. In just six minutes from start to finish, this dish will be ready to serve.

3. Garlic Broccoli Mix: Broccoli, categorized as a vital vegetable linked to daily life, will be included in the “specified vegetables” list in April 2026. This mix provides a peppery, garlic-infused flavor without the need for olive oil. With a blend of three garlic varieties and red chili, cooks can quickly prepare this delicious dish in around four minutes by heating broccoli in the microwave and mixing.

Development Story

In the wake of rising food prices, there has been a renewed focus on cooking at home and saving costs. The increasing availability and demand for cut vegetables and broccoli, which has been classified as a designated vegetable, reflect this trend. Even amid the pandemic, garlic consumption has surged, and its popularity has continued post-COVID-19. Young individuals living alone are increasingly seeking both health and satisfying meals, keeping garlic-enhanced products in high demand.

Thus, these new products were developed to leverage convenience and cost-saving measures, allowing for the easy preparation of garlic-flavored dishes using cut vegetables and broccoli.

Perfect for Garlic Lovers

These new offerings are ideal for those who want to enjoy bold and robust garlic flavors while being health-conscious and budget-friendly. Not only suitable for daily cooking, the unique taste profile of these products also makes them great accompaniments for alcoholic beverages. Many culinary adventures await as consumers explore the deliciousness of garlic.

Balanced Flavor Composition

In line with the "Garlic Family" concept, effort has been put into creating a product that balances addictive tastes. Overdoing garlic can upset overall flavor harmony, so care has been taken to ensure garlic is prominent while maintaining a well-rounded texture and flavor profile.
