Flavor Power!
Garlic powder is just garlic that has been dehydrated and stored in a jar. It’s an excellent way to add great flavor to any dish (appetizer, main course, and side dish can all benefit from a little garlic). It has proven health benefits, but they usually involve extremely high quantities of garlic – more than the average person is ever likely to consume by flavoring their food.
Just a Spoonful of Garlic Powder
It certainly can’t hurt though, and if you do get the urge to eat garlic powder by the spoonful, go for it. You’ll be getting a hefty dose of vitamins and minerals, not to mention sulfur.
