FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does onion garlic spice mix last?
When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, it typically maintains its best quality for 1 to 2 years.
Can I freeze onion garlic spice mix?
It is not recommended as the condensation from the freezer can cause the powder to clump and lose flavor.
What is the best substitute for this mix?
You can use a 1:1 ratio of individual onion powder and garlic powder, or use fresh minced onion and garlic (1 tbsp powder = 1 medium onion + 3 cloves garlic).
Why does my spice mix clump together?
Clumping is usually caused by moisture or humidity entering the container. Adding a few grains of dry rice can help absorb excess moisture.
Is this spice mix suitable for a low-sodium diet?
Pure onion and garlic powder mixes are naturally low in sodium, but check the label to ensure no salt has been added as a filler.
How do I know if the spice mix has gone bad?
If the color has faded significantly or the aroma is weak or 'musty' rather than sharp and pungent, it should be replaced.
Can I use this as a replacement for fresh onion and garlic?
Yes, it is a convenient substitute, though it lacks the texture and moisture of fresh aromatics. Use 1 teaspoon of mix for every 1 tablespoon of fresh minced aromatics.
Does this mix contain any allergens?
Pure onion and garlic are not common allergens, but some commercial mixes may contain anti-caking agents or be processed in facilities with gluten or soy.
