California Garlic Powder
California Garlic Powder
Garlic Powder, Allium sativum, is also referred to as garlic power, California-style garlic powder, or powder garlic.
Granulated Garlic has an essential oil of .1% - .25%.
This Garlic Powder is made from dehydrated California-grown garlic and is used in cooking as a flavor enhancement. Garlic is a species in the genus Allium, and is closely related to chives, leeks, onions, and shallots. Browse our main garlic page to see the varieties of garlic we have available.
Choose California Garlic Powder when you want garlic flavor with no texture or bulk. The fine grind of garlic powder results in more surface area being exposed, which means there’s nothing between you and the pure taste of garlic.
When you want a garlic product with a strong garlic flavor that blends beautifully with other spices for rubs and can whisk smoothly into liquids without concern about clumping, use California Granulated Garlic. California Roasted Minced Garlic is the right choice when you want a bit of texture in a dish for chunky sautés or as a crunchy garlic-herb topping.
One fresh garlic clove = 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of granulated garlic, or ½ teaspoon of dried minced garlic.
Flavor Profile
California Garlic Powder tastes strong, pungent, and garlicky. Unlike fresh garlic, which tends to have a very upfront flavor, garlic powder adds more subtle flavor complexity and umami to anything it is added to.
How to Use
This is one of the few spices that people think are more flavorful when dried since it concentrates the flavor significantly. As any good home cook knows, nothing compares to fresh garlic, but that doesn't mean that dehydrated garlic shouldn't play a vital role in your kitchen.
Garlic powder adds a savory punch to burgers, meatloaf, or a meat sauce for your lasagna. It’s a great way to finish a dish, so sprinkle it over enchiladas fresh out of the oven, roasted green beans, or even tuna salad. Some of our customers have shared with us that they keep a small shaker of it on their kitchen table as a way to use less salt.
You should use a gentle hand when adding garlic powder to anything until you know how much of it you like. Please don’t overdo it, as you can always add more.
Garlic Powder pairs well with basil, beans, chile peppers, ginger, greens, onions, spinach, and turmeric.
