Garlic powder
A seasoning made from dried and ground garlic, with a concentrated flavour and dry texture, especially useful in marinades and breadings.
What it offers and why to use it
Garlic powder distributes the flavour evenly without incorporating the moisture from fresh garlic. It should not be confused with garlic salt, which contains a significant amount of salt.
Aromatic, warm and slightly sweet, with the characteristic flavour of garlic but less pungent than when raw.
From shopping to cooking
Choose
Choose a product with a uniform cream colour, a clean aroma and no clumps. Check that it is pure garlic powder and not garlic salt.
Store
Store in an airtight container, protected from moisture, light and heat. Always use a completely dry spoon.
Prepare
Works in breadings, spice mixes, meats, roasted vegetables, dry sauces, marinades and air fryer preparations.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Pairs well with oregano, thyme, paprika, parsley, lemon, chicken, potatoes, cheese and olive oil.
How to substitute it
Can be substituted with granulated garlic in approximately the same amount. Fresh garlic adds more moisture and a different flavour, so it is not always interchangeable.
