We search the world for spices and herbs of the highest quality. Then we craft and package them to deliver the most authentic and intense flavor possible. That's why home chefs who have a taste for flavor adventure and everyday cooks who just want better tasting meals fill their pantries with Spice Islands. Read more below about what makes Spice Islands so special. Our Spice Islands garlic is harvested in California, then put through a unique process to create a garlic powder that has similar flavor notes to fresh garlic. The very fine powder disperses easily in liquids and works well in sauces, unlike the granulated garlic some brands label as garlic powder. Distinctively pungent, garlic complements almost any savory dish. We recommend using 1/4 tsp of garlic powder for every clove of fresh garlic. Fun Fact: While we don't know the exact date garlic was first cultivated, we know it was grown in Mesopotamia in 3,000 BC. Garlic bulbs were fed to the Egyptians who built the pyramids and were placed in King Tutankhamun's tomb. Our Garlic Powder is only garlic. Spice Islands spices and herbs don't contain added sugar, fillers or other ingredients so you get the most authentic flavor every time.

Fresher than store bought
Most Bay Leaves you purchase at the grocery store are brown in color. Too old.Spice Islands bay leaves are always green and fresh.

a so needed item
I have always used bay leaf 'louro' as I called it with my food. It is an awesome condiment for sauces, rice, soups and so on. During my growing years Bay leaf were not expensive and could easily be found in any grocery store.I bought this brand because of some reviews, the flavor is good the quality is also good no broken leaf, however is way too expensive. If I cant find another brand I will buy it again.

Makes great chili
My husband who doesn't cook much is always looking at recipes he wants me to make. We love chili and he found this recipe that said the Spice Islands Chili Powder is what made the chili great. Therefore, I had to go on-line and find the product. It came and I made the chili following the directions and I must say it is some of the best chili I have ever made.

I Like This Spice In Hot Tea
I have tried many other brands of ground cinnamon that do not mix well with hot beverages, such as tea. Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon is so finely ground it mixes better with hot beverages. It doesn't just float on top.
