Looking for garlic powder that is not produced in China. Has anybody found any?

Posted on 05/10/2009 12:42:03 PM PDT by Sun

I can't find any garlic powder that is not produced in China, whether it's a name brand, or generic brand. I'm willing to order it. Has anyone found any that is not produced in China?

Further information about Trader Joe’s:

Trader Joe’s says they phased out all single-ingredient Chinese imports such as garlic, frozen organic spinach, nuts, ginger and edamame.

Unfortunately the ban doesn’t include products with ingredients from China, a leading source of vitamins and minerals used in many processed foods.

If you go to ask.com or (liberal) google and put in the words “Trader Joe’s” and China you can get more information.

I had no idea that much of the processed food had ingredients from there. Also I’m beginning to wonder if foods from Korea, Thailand, VietNam or Mexico are any safer than the Chinese ones.

You’re right about mixed ingredients. If I see garlic listed in a bunch of ingredients, I don’t buy it.

Old thread, but interesting, thanks for bringing it up, I just bought some"Granulated Garlic" made by REX, Made in USA!stamped on it. ( a product of Louisiana), at Walt Mart, it was $2.18, but the cheap stuff came from China.

I did not go back and read the whole thread, so you may have this info already.

Happy cooking!

Thank you. I just received the garlic I sent away for (from my post 104) and it was 18 oz. for about $6! I think I have enough garlic for life :). It’s the most economical garlic I’ve ever seen and Made in the USA!

I heard they are going to sell Chinese apples in New York State next which is why we have to call the stores and tell them we do NOT want food from China. It is FILTHY, and we could get sick eating it. Remember the pets and people who ingested Chinese food and drugs, who got sick or died?

If we don’t complain to the stores, more and more food will be from China, and we won’t have a choice, just as we don’t have a choice with electronics.

I hope you’ll pardon me for reviving an old thread started by Sun but something has come up. Back on May 10 we talked about alternatives to garlic grown and processed in China, and on post #7 was a link to a tiny, one-person garlic operation run by Mark Agee in Virginia. He grows his own, smokes it and grinds it. What he sells isn’t available except for when his new crop comes in.

I use garlic on my shrimp scampi, omelettes, soups, and wherever I use stewed tomatoes. I’ve been holding off until his new crop is in and he’s only doing a limited run this year. At age 43 he is back in college and working a full time job, so my heart goes out to him. He does have his crop ready to smoke and grind, so it shouldn’t be long.

Thanks to mylife for pointing this out.

Sort of related...I posted a reply to a thread the other day and someone pointed out it was about 5 years old. My garlic crop is hanging in the fence drying for storage. Six varieties of hard neck and soft neck types...

We had a long series of Dimensional Doorway threads that went back ten years on Freep, till some of the old timers started passing away.

I checked on the garlic at that link though, and simply wanted to get some since I don’t have any garden space to grow it-—my wife wants everything in flowers.

The best garlic is grow your own and also, we like garlic from Gilroy, Calif — the Garlic capital of the world.

Hopefully I’ll get the rest of my crop dug up this weekend.

So I’ve still got garlic left over from last year. Does anybody have any ideas for dried garlic cloves?

Not exactly on-thread, but I’m going to buy his ‘Whizbang Apple Cider Grinder and Press’ plans. I have more than a dozen trees to deal with this fall and would like some sweet cider and a taste or two of the hard stuff.

Next year, I’m planting garlic . . .

Bought a juicer one year when we had 60 mph winds bring down the sweet apples in an orchard here in Utah, and we filled up the bathtub several times with what the farmer wasn’t going to pick up. We were college students, we weren’t picky. We washed and juiced them all, and filled up a root cellar with the gallon jugs. My buddy decided to get married about a month later, and we brought it all out for a good Mormon reception. Best fizzy apple cider ever served in Provo, home of BYU.
