KhanaPakana Garlic Coarse 2 LB
The conventional technique of making garlic powder consists in removing by hand the outer papery skin of the garlic bulb, separation and peeling of cloves manually, dehydrating and powdering them before packing. The improved recent process produces dehydrated garlic powder, free from husk. In this process the garlic bulbs are broken, the cloves and papery husks are separated by aspiration. The cloves are mechanically pre-conditioned and dried. Dried material is suitably processed to loosen and separate the adhering husk layer from the meat. The mixture is suitably separated and the dried meat after inspection and quality control, powdered to obtain the final product. Garlic powder has a different taste than fresh garlic. If used as a substitute for fresh garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder is equivalent to one clove of garlic.
Garlic Powder, which is used mainly as a condiment in food preparations, also serves as carminative and gastric stimulant in many medical preparations. Manufacture and marketing of garlic powder is a well established industry in USA and Europe.
