Garlic Powder
Garlic powder is far more concentrated than fresh and lacks the pungent edge that raw garlic brings. Use powder in dry rubs and long-cooked sauces where even distribution matters; reach for fresh in dressings, pasta, and garlic bread. See our Garlic Powder converter.
Shallot
Shallot brings a milder, sweeter allium note where garlic carries pungent bite. Use in pan sauces and dressings; expect a softer flavour and slightly more body from the extra weight. See our Shallot converter.
Onion
