Garlic powder is a finely chopped dried garlic, which has an intense aroma and a spicy taste. The main characteristic of the product is its ability to give the dish an expressive garlic taste without the need to use fresh garlic. The powder is rich in phytoncides that have antibacterial properties. In cooking, garlic powder is used for flavoring and giving piquancy to sauces, marinades, meat and vegetable dishes. Powder should be stored in a dry and cool place, protected from direct sunlight. The shelf life is usually about a year, subject to storage rules.
