Deep South Granulated Garlic 24 oz

Our Granulated Garlic is a great substitute for fresh garlic. Perfect for spice rubs and salad dressings!

Granulated garlic is dried garlic that has been coarsely ground to a sand-like consistency. It's made by drying fresh garlic cloves in an oven, then grinding the cloves into garlic granules with a spice grinder. You can usually find granulated garlic bottled in the seasoning aisle of your local grocery store.

Granulated garlic vs Garlic powder

The only difference between garlic powder and granulated garlic is the granule size. While granulated garlic is coarsely ground to a sand consistency, garlic powder is finely ground to a flour consistency.

How much garlic powder is equal to granulated garlic?

Every teaspoon of garlic powder is equal to about two teaspoons of granulated garlic, which is something to keep in mind if your recipe calls for one or the other and you're forced to make a substitution.

Can I use granulated garlic instead of powder?

If your recipe calls for granulated garlic but you only have garlic powder or vice versa, you can use the two interchangeably. It is important to note that if the original recipe calls for granulated garlic, you may want to use half the amount of garlic powder as the finer grind will pack a stronger punch per teaspoon.

Can I substitute granulated garlic for minced garlic?

You would choose jarred minced garlic over granulated garlic if you have a recipe that benefits from the moisture and texture of minced garlic, like an olive oil bread dip. Granulated garlic would be better suited for soups and sauces than minced garlic because it will dissolve more quickly into your liquid base.
