From the name, without giving it much thought, you might think that mixing garlic and salt will give you garlic salt. Well, if you thought so, I bring you good news. It\u2019s not just you. There are many others with that idea. But that\u2019s not the way to make this seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the simplest seasonings you can learn to make at home. It is sold in stores but learning to make yours at home can help you regulate the salt content and the sodium content inherently. Moreover, it allows you to have an abundant supply for your meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to learn how to make this seasoning, you are on the right page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is garlic salt?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Garlic salt is a seasoned ingredient made with garlic powder, salt, and an anti-caking agent that absorbs moisture and helps to keep the seasoning dry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ingredients you may find in this seasoning are artificial flavorings, some additives, and maybe onion powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some types of salt you can use are regular salt, sea salt, and kosher salt. You can buy garlic powder from the stores or make yours at home with fresh garlic cloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making yours at home, you might not have access to an anti-caking agent or know how to use it. So, you can skip it entirely. Ensure you store the salt in a dry container that won\u2019t retain moisture. Also, keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent it from caking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic salt adds garlicky and salty notes to your meals. Some brands use garlic granules (large, dried garlic flakes) and some use garlic powder (which is finer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic granules are much better and preferred because of their grainy texture. You will appreciate this variation more when you need it as a meat rub or to sprinkle over cooked eggs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a perfect salt substitute in meals that need a garlicky flavor. However, it is not a perfectly healthy salt substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, if you are at risk of having high blood pressure, already have it, or avoiding salt altogether, garlic salt is not the next alternative. It is more like your regular salt but with garlicky notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
