Garlic salt
vs garlic powder
Garlic salt vs garlic powder: what’s the difference?
The most obvious difference between garlic salt and garlic powder is simple:
Garlic salt is garlic powder and salt
Garlic powder is garlic—no salt
However, there’s a big difference in the quality of garlic salt and garlic powder. And, it’s not just the addition of salt that makes garlic salt and garlic powder different, it’s the quality of ingredients that makes the biggest difference between garlic salt vs garlic powder.
Flavor & quality: 2 key ingredients
Two main ingredients that affect the flavor and freshness of garlic salt and garlic powder:
Garlic—local or store bought; impacts flavor, freshness, and bite
Salt—pure sea salt or processed table salt; impacts texture and purity
Local garlic matters
Whether it’s in garlic salt, garlic powder, or sliced fresh, the quality of garlic matters. At SALTY MAMINA, we always use farm-fresh garlic from local farms in our garlic salt. Fresh local garlic gives our garlic salt a bold, clean flavor—a flavor that you don’t get in commercial garlic salt.
Not all garlic is created equal
Local garlic has a bold flavor with a spicy aroma
Store-bought garlic-typically imported; lacks the rich bite of fresh garlic
Journey to better garlic salt
The best garlic salt starts with the best garlic powder. The best garlic powder starts with the best garlic. The best garlic starts with the best local farms and the best farms are organic and pesticide-free farms. That’s the SALTY MAMINA difference.
Farm-to-kitchen garlic salt
We bring garlic straight from the greenhouse to our kitchen, where we process it within days of curing, drying it low and slow to maintain flavor.
Fresh garlic makes our garlic salt bold and flavorful with a distinct spice only present in fresh garlic salt. You won’t find the flavor or quality in most store-bought garlic salts.
Pure sea salt for bold flavor
We use pure sea salt in our garlic salt. We love our sea salt. It’s pure, unrefined, and tastes bright and bold. Read more about our sea salt & ingredients.
