FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does garlic powder last?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, garlic powder maintains its best quality for 2 to 3 years.
Can I freeze garlic powder?
It is not recommended as the moisture in the freezer can cause the powder to clump and lose its flavor profile.
What is the best substitute for garlic powder?
Fresh minced garlic (1 clove = 1/8 tsp powder) or garlic salt (reduce other salt in the recipe) are the best alternatives.
How do I fix garlic powder that has clumped?
If it hasn't developed mold, you can break it up with a fork or pulse it briefly in a spice grinder.
Is garlic powder as healthy as fresh garlic?
While it retains many minerals, the heat processing reduces the amount of active Allicin compared to fresh crushed garlic.
What should I look for when buying garlic powder?
Look for a fine, free-flowing texture with a pale off-white color and a very pungent, sharp aroma.
Does garlic powder contain salt?
Pure garlic powder does not contain salt. If it does, it is usually labeled as 'Garlic Salt'.
Is garlic powder considered a root vegetable?
Yes, because it is made from the bulb of the garlic plant, it is classified as a root vegetable product.
Why does my garlic powder smell different from fresh garlic?
The drying process concentrates the sugars and flavors, resulting in a more mellow, toasted flavor compared to the sharp bite of raw garlic.
