Garlic powder (Lasun Dhulo)

Garlic powder is made from real, dehydrated garlic, which is then ground to various levels of fineness. Most labeled garlic powder is actually coarse-ground garlic, while true garlic powder is ultra-fine, like cake flour. Garlic powder is a popular ingredient in spice blends and dry rubs. It’s used to season meat and veggies, and proves a welcome addition in snacks like popcorn and roasted nuts. Garlic powder can even be used to get brighter flavors in low-sodium dishes.
