What it is

Garlic powder is made from dried, ground garlic cloves. Garlic is a plant in the allium family, related to onions and leeks. The drying and grinding process concentrates the flavor of fresh garlic.

Why it's used

Garlic powder is used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of savory dishes. It adds a pungent, savory taste to spice blends, marinades, sauces, soups, and processed meats. It is often found in snack foods like chips and pretzels.

Health notes

Garlic powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a common ingredient in many diets and is not typically associated with adverse health effects at normal consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated garlic and its derivatives. Some studies suggest potential benefits of garlic consumption, but the evidence is mixed and more research is needed.

Allergen info

Garlic is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
