Garlic is one of those ingredients that effortlessly enriches any dish. And while it has a way of making everything taste better, we can all attest to the fact that peeling, chopping, or crushing fresh garlic can sometimes feel like a hassle. This is why garlic powder is that game-changing spice you need in your pantry. And you know what? It is not only convenient but also packed with incredible health benefits. For Nigerian dishes, where bold flavors are super important, garlic powder fits right in. It blends effortlessly into soups, stews, and other recipes, making your meal flavorful but also easier and faster.

At My Sasun African Market, we love garlic powder for the fact that we can use it in a variety of ways. And the best part? You don’t lose out on the benefits garlic offers. Here’s a closer look at how garlic powder can benefit your health while making cooking simpler and more fun.
1. It’s Loaded with Antioxidants
Garlic powder is rich in antioxidants, which are like superheroes for your body. They help fight off damage caused by free radicals, reducing inflammation and lowering your risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease and cancer.
Just a sprinkle of garlic powder on your roasted veggies/suya or a dash in your stew/soup, and you’re giving your body an antioxidant boost without even trying.
2. It’s Good for Your Heart
Garlic has a reputation for being heart-friendly, and garlic powder carries many of the same benefits. It contains compounds like allicin, which can help reduce high blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. By improving blood flow, garlic powder supports overall heart health.
When next you’re making grilled chicken or steaming some fish, add a pinch of garlic powder. It’s a delicious way to show your heart some love.
3. Immune Support Made Easy
Remember when grandma said garlic keeps the doctor away? Well, she wasn’t wrong! Garlic powder retains many of the immune-boosting compounds found in fresh garlic. It’s especially great during flu season, helping the body fight off colds and infections.
Add it to your soups, stews, or even sprinkle it over popcorn for a tasty immune boost. Who said healthy had to be boring?

4. Helps Your Gut Health
Your digestive system loves garlic. Garlic powder contains prebiotics—basically food for the good bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut means better digestion, improved nutrient absorption, and even a happier mood.
Mix garlic powder into your stir-fries or sauces, and you’re not just making your taste buds happy—you’re helping your gut feel great too!
5. May Regulate Blood Sugar Levels
If you’re watching your blood sugar, garlic powder could be your new best friend. Since garlic can help stabilize blood sugar levels, it is a smart choice for people managing diabetes or prediabetes.
Sprinkle some on your sautéed greens for fried rice or roasted meats. Your meal will not only taste amazing, but it could also help keep your blood sugar in check.
6. Perfect for Weight Management
Garlic powder is a lifesaver for anyone trying to eat healthily without sacrificing flavor. It’s low in calories but packed with very delicious taste.
Use it to season baked potatoes, roasted nuts, or even homemade dips for your fries. You’ll feel like a gourmet chef, minus the extra calories!
How to Use Garlic Powder
Here are some simple and practical ways to incorporate garlic powder into your favorite Nigerian meals:
1. In Jollof Rice
Add a teaspoon of garlic powder when sautéing your onions, tomatoes, and spices. It enhances the savory taste of the dish without being too heavy.
2. In Soups and Stews
For Nigerian classics like Egusi, Efo Riro, or Ogbono soup, garlic powder is a game-changer. Sprinkle a little into the pot while cooking your base of blended peppers, onions, and palm oil. It adds a subtle yet rich flavor that complements traditional spices like iru.
3. In Suya Spice Mix
Garlic powder is a key ingredient in homemade Suya spice (yaji). Mix it with ground peanuts, paprika, ginger, and chili for a rich rub on your meat before grilling.
4. In Fried Rice
Garlic powder works wonders in fried rice. Add it to your vegetables and seasonings as they sauté to give your dish a mild garlicky aroma and taste that pairs perfectly with the soy sauce and curry powder.
5. In Marinades for Meat and Fish
Garlic powder is perfect for quick marinades. Mix it with salt, pepper, ginger, and some oil, then rub it on chicken, beef, goat, or fish. Let it sit for a bit before cooking, grilling, or frying for flavorful, juicy meat.
