I guess so, as both of them are garlic based. Garlic powder is just that. Dried garlic that is finely divided. It doesn't have any salt in it. Garlic salt is an admixture of salt and garlic powder. In theory garlic powder is very simple: it's just dehydrated garlic cloves that have been ground to a powder. Some of the high quality brands you can buy are just that, pure garlic. Not all of the garlic powder on the market is pure. Sometimes artificial ingredients are added to "improve" the colour or flavour. As always, it's worth checking the ingredients before you buy. Sometimes garlic powder is included in other dried spice blends in the stores. The most common of these is garlic salt which is usually just salt plus powdered garlic. Obviously if you're using the powder as an alternative seasoning in order to cut down on your salt intake, there isn't much point using garlic salt

This depends on the recipy.

If say, you want 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and one teaspoon of salt, then yes.

Just take two teaspoons of garlic salt instead. That should do the trick.

If the recipy wants only garlic powder and no added salt, then by adding garlic salt, you will add a lot of salt as well. The food you make may not taste right.

I would then rather chop up some garlic and use that instead of both garlic powder and garlic salt.

Garlic salt is mainly a mix of garlic powder and salt.

You can very well substitute with garlic powder, just add some salt as well.

No, garlic powder is a powder-like substance. And garlic salt is a more salt-like substance.

Can you substitute garlic powder for minced garlic?

It wouldn't be recommended unless you're looking for a really salty taste. Keep in mind that garlic salt is mostly salt with just some garlic flavor to it. If the recipe calls for salt, you might want to reduce or eliminate it if you're going to use garlic salt in place of garlic. If the recipe doesn't call for salt, garlic salt is probably not the best option.

Where did Garlic powder come from?

Garlic powder is dried garlic that has been finely diced to create a powdered form. It should not be confused with garlic salt, which is a combination of garlicpowder and table salt. You'll find garlic powder in the spice section, and some cooks advocate using it in place of fresh garlic. Other cooks like the taste ofgarlic powder but find that the taste is different than fresh garlic, not as sharp and somewhat sweeter. If you're out of fresh garlic, a powdered form can be a good substitute though the taste may be slightly different.

Onion salt tastes like "salty onion". Onion powder just tastes like "onion". I use both onion and garlic powder a lot, but have never used either onion salt or garlic salt, so I can use salt independently (control the amount).
