Amazon Grocery, Fine Garlic Powder, 3 Oz (Previously Amazon Fresh, Packaging May Vary)

I recently ordered garlic powder from Amazon for the first time, and I have to say, it’s the freshest garlic powder I’ve ever purchased. Compared to what I’ve bought from local stores, this one stands out in both texture and aroma. The powder is incredibly smooth, almost velvety, and the fragrance is noticeably stronger and more aromatic. When I used it in my cooking, I could tell the difference right away— the flavor was more vibrant and fresh than the garlic powders I typically use. It’s clear that this is a high-quality product, and it has made a significant improvement to my dishes.Based on this experience, I’ll definitely be purchasing more of my spices from Amazon in the future. The convenience, freshness, and superior quality far outweigh the options available at local stores. This garlic powder has set a new standard for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their cooking with premium ingredients. Whether you’re an experienced cook or just someone who enjoys great flavor, this garlic powder is worth adding to your pantry.

Here's what you probably know about this garlic powder, even before ordering it. It will definitely add that bold, robust taste to a number of different dishes. While I'm partial to using fresh garlic cloves when cooking meals, sometimes I don't have time to go through the motions of actually peeling, slicing, dicing, mincing, etc. Even though I use the "peel" trick using a sealed mason jar or a small pot and a plate to get peels off fresh garlic cloves in less than a minute (look it up online if you don't know that cooking hack). Long story short, you know what garlic powder does, and this one delivers.Now, a little something you may not know.This particular garlic powder is sourced from China. I suspect that this may give some American buyers pause. First, they'd wonder why the garlic comes from China. And second, they might wonder if the garlic is safe to consume. But rest assured, the garlic powder is just fine. Because here's a little fact for you that you might not be aware of.....Most of the garlic powder used in U.S. brands of seasonings comes from China. The country that produces the most garlic powder worldwide is China, followed by India. Even though McCormick doesn't make it noticeable on their product pages (no pictures of the back of their garlic powder bottles), their product is also from China. So you pay more for the name brands, but the quality is probably not all that different. For all I know, both brands have their garlic powder processed in the same factory, or use garlic sourced from the same farms.I say all that to say, if you notice that this garlic was made in China, don't let that deter you from ordering it. Since most brands you come across for it will come from the same place. It's less expensive than the big name brands, yet the quality is about the same. In fact, it's even cheaper if you're a Prime member and order it along with about fifty bucks worth of products that fall under the same category (Happy Belly and other Amazon pantry type brands). It pays to order a bunch of herbs and spices from those brands all at the same time, you'll shave 20% off your shopping cart total during checkout.So when it boils down to it, this is a good garlic powder to choose. Good quality, and no one that I cook for can tell that I used the Happy Belly brand as opposed to some big name brand. Plus it costs less. So it's a smart money choice and good for a happy tummy if you pick this one.

This is a fresh, flavorful garlic powder. It's finer powder than the grocery store one that I had before. It tastes good and I'll be buying it again.

When they say fine. It’s true. Fine like extra extra fine ground. Not sure how I feel about that. It’s going to be a learning curve for use in recipes where I use a certain amount. I might need to use less?

Excellent spice good taste and aroma

Garlic powder, fresh taste, no clumping. Good value.

This is fine for flavoring dishes, Italian food, pizza (yum-yum), etc. No additives, which is nice. I'm wondering, can't Amazon find any "garlic powder" made in the U.S. to sell under their brand name? It seems crazy for Amazon to ship something as simple as garlic powder from a foreign country thousands of miles away.

Did not care for the fine texture of this product. Did not seem to add much flavor to my cooking. Maybe it was the powdery texture; had to use more than I am used to to get the same results.
