One spoonful stirred into sour cream and you have a garlic dip that disappears at the table before anything else does. This is a four-ingredient blend built around garlic, with onion, parsley, and a light lift of red pepper flakes. Fold it into sour cream or yogurt for a dip, work it into softened butter for garlic bread, or toss it with potatoes and oil before roasting.

The heat here is gentle, a warm edge from red pepper flakes rather than a burn, so the garlic stays out front. There is no salt in the blend, which lets you season a dip or a roast to your own taste. We stone-grind the garlic and onion fresh in small batches in Portland so they taste sweet and round instead of dusty.

Hand-blended, salt-free. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.

How do I make a dip with it?
Stir one to two teaspoons into a cup of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or softened cream cheese, then let it rest in the fridge for at least thirty minutes so the dried garlic and onion soften and bloom. Taste, add salt if you want it, and adjust from there.

How spicy is it?
Mild. The red pepper flakes add warmth and a little color, not a strong burn. The blend reads as garlic-forward and savory, friendly for a crowd.

Is it salt-free?
Yes. There is no salt in the blend, so you control the seasoning. That also makes it an easy fit for cooks watching their salt.

What else is it good on besides dip?
Toss it with roasted potatoes or vegetables, fold it into butter for garlic bread, stir it into pasta with olive oil, or use it as a rub on chicken. Add it to a hot pan with some fat present so the garlic does not scorch.

Steven S. ★★★★★

The onion and parsley in this blend round out the garlic perfectly—it’s not just a one-note punch. I mixed it into plain Greek yogurt for a quick veggie dip and the whole bowl was gone in ten minutes.

Zoe V. ★★★★★

I stirred a spoonful into sour cream for a quick dip last night, and it was gone before the main course even hit the table. The garlic is bold but not harsh, and the onion and parsley round it out perfectly. That four-ingredient mix does exactly what it promises.

Ellie S. ★★★★★

The parsley in this blend gives it a fresh edge that makes the garlic feel lighter, and yeah, I’ve already gone through half the jar in a week. Stirred into sour cream, it turned my boring veggie plate into the first thing everyone reached for.
