Description

Onion and Garlic Powder is a blend of ground spices that combines dehydrated and finely powdered onion and garlic. It is a widely used seasoning in cooking to add intense and aromatic flavor to a wide variety of dishes, from sauces and marinades to stews, meats, and vegetables.

Origin: Both onion and garlic are ingredients with a long history in global cuisine, originating primarily from Asian and Mediterranean regions. The powdered combination emerged as a practical and convenient way to use these ingredients without the need for fresh preparation, facilitating their dosing and preservation.

Properties: This blend is rich in sulfur compounds that provide a characteristic strong and slightly sweet flavor. Furthermore, it possesses antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In cooking, onion and garlic powder dissolves easily, releasing its aroma with heat, which enhances the flavor of foods without the need to use fresh ingredients.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different regions, this seasoning may be found under names such as polvo mezclado de ajo y cebolla, mezcla de ajo y cebolla en polvo, or simply condimento de ajo y cebolla. Although less common, some people also call it polvo sazonador de cebolla y ajo.
