Description: Garlic is arguably one of the most popular spices in the world, cultivated for so long that its origin is impossible to pinpoint. Garlic has been introduced and enthusiastically embraced worldwide and is now found in almost every cuisine. While garlic is technically a vegetable (more precisely a bulb) it is typically classified as a spice, whether fresh or dried, because of its primary use as a seasoning. Garlic Powder is definitely garlicky in flavor, and more potent than fresh by volume, its flavor is milder with a less harsh and aggressive ‘upfront’ flavor with a more rounded, slightly sweeter flavor. Unlike other dried forms of garlic, Garlic Powder dissolves quickly and easily and releases its flavor almost immediately when mixed with liquids, making it the perfect choice to use in uncooked dishes, those that have short cooking times, and anything that requires a completely smooth texture.
Suggested Uses:
Garlic Powder is extremely versatile and can be used anywhere you want to add a burst of garlicky flavor - When using as a substitution for fresh garlic in any recipe, use ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon of powder for each clove of fresh garlic, teaspoon of minced, or ½ teaspoon of garlic paste
- Use as a table condiment in place of salt or pepper to add flavor without added sodium
- Sprinkle over roasted nuts and seeds for a flavorful snack
- Add to dry rubs, marinades, sauces, soups, stews, dressings, and dips
- Dust over grilled or roasted vegetables, steaks, burgers, chicken, fish, or shrimp
- Sprinkle over pasta, rice, popcorn, pizza, scrambled eggs, smashed potatoes, or anywhere else you can imagine!
