What it is

Garlic powder is made from dried, ground garlic cloves. It is a common seasoning used to add the flavor of garlic to foods without the moisture and texture of fresh garlic. The drying and grinding process concentrates its flavor.

Why it's used

Garlic powder is used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of savory foods. Manufacturers add it to spice blends, marinades, rubs, soups, sauces, and processed meats. It provides a consistent garlic taste that is easier to distribute evenly than fresh garlic.

Health notes

Garlic powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. It is a common ingredient in many foods, and at typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated garlic and its components. Research has explored potential health benefits of garlic, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

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