description Garlic Salt Overview

Garlic salt is a blended seasoning made primarily from table salt and dried garlic powder or granules. Commercial formulations may also contain an anti-caking agent, and the proportion of salt to garlic varies by producer. It combines salting and garlic seasoning in one ingredient, making it useful for meats, vegetables, sauces, snack foods and prepared dishes, but it is not interchangeable with pure garlic powder because it adds substantial sodium.
