Garlic Powder

Garlic powder is a finely ground spice with a concentrated, pungent flavor that mellows when cooked. Its aroma is robust and earthy, reminiscent of fresh garlic cloves but with a slightly smokier edge. Originating from garlic bulbs that are dried and ground, it offers convenience without sacrificing depth of flavor. Its unique ability to dissolve quickly into dishes makes it invaluable for seasoning rubs, soups, and sauces.

Agave Nectar
