Garlic Salt

Dried garlic blended evenly through salt. It gives the savoury warmth of garlic without peeling or chopping, and because the garlic is dried it lands sweeter and mellower than raw, closer to roasted garlic than to a crushed clove.

The salt carries the garlic evenly through a dish, which is why it disperses better than garlic powder added separately alongside salt, and why it works as a table seasoning as well as a cooking one.

How to use it

Use it on meats and vegetables, in breads, marinades and sauces, and at the table as a general seasoning. Technique tip: it is salt-based, so swap it for the salt a recipe calls for rather than adding it on top. In breads and doughs, add it with the dry flour rather than into the water, since salt in concentrated contact with yeast slows the rise.
