About Spices, garlic powder
Garlic powder is dried garlic ground to a fine powder — a convenient, shelf-stable shortcut to garlic's flavor that disperses evenly through rubs, marinades, dressings and spice blends without the prep of fresh cloves.
Because it's concentrated dried garlic, by weight it looks fairly nutritious, but it's used by the half-teaspoon, so in practice it contributes little beyond flavor. It carries some of the same sulfur compounds as fresh garlic, though drying diminishes the allicin that fresh, crushed garlic is prized for.
Handy and consistent, garlic powder is a kitchen workhorse for seasoning at scale — fresh garlic has the edge on flavor and beneficial compounds, but the powder wins on convenience.
