@trinsec I use fresh garlic too, but for certain things like pomme puree ("mashed taters" where I'm from) I prefer the granulated version because it's not as astringent, but preserves most of its savory notes.
There's also black garlic and roasted garlic, both excellent additions to make a compound butter with other herbs and such
@johnabs Powder? Granulated? I just cut up a fresh clove of garlic?
