What is the difference between garlic powder and garlic salt?

Answer by  Izy (32)

Garlic powder is simply dried ground garlic. Garlic salt is a flavored salt that is basically a mixture of dried ground garlic, table salt, and an anti-caking agent. Garlic salt can be easily made at home by pouring ground garlic into a bowl with salt and pouring a humectant on it.

It's easy to remember the key difference between these two garlic preparations - garlic powder is dried powdered garlic while garlic salt is garlic powder with salt added.

Garlic salt combines garlic powder with salt, while garlic powder is dehydrated garlic that has been ground into powder form.
