McCormick Garlic Powder always starts with fresh, whole garlic that have been dried and ground. It brings balanced warmth and complexity to savory dishes like soups, stews, stir-fries, sauces and marinades. McCormick's dehydrated garlic varieties, including Garlic Powder, Garlic Salt and Minced Garlic, provide consistently fresh garlic flavor while maintaining a longer shelf life. The flavor is mellower than raw garlic cloves, yet equally robust. Any dish with ground beef or ground turkey- hamburgers, meatballs, meatloaf, chili and tacos- is better with garlic powder. Use 1/4 tsp. garlic powder in place of 1 clove of fresh garlic. Keep a jar of this basic spice on the table to shake on steak, chicken, mashed potatoes, pizza and veggies. Packaging may vary.
