| Garlic in
any form, whether powdered, granulated, minced, or flaked, is neither an herb,
spice or a blend - it is a vegetable. Garlic is a member of the same family as
onions, chives (a herb), leeks and shallots. | |
|
| We
include it here because it is available in your market in dried powdered form.
Please see Garlic, Leeks
and Onions to find out more about fresh garlic cloves and how to prepare
and use them in cooking. | |
