Different but complementary flavor, works in rubs
Stronger pungent bite; use 1/4 tsp garlic powder per tsp onion powder, or mince one small clove
Fresh minced shallot is milder-sweeter than powder; use 1 tbsp fresh per 1 tsp powder
Much milder and grassier; works in dressings and dips but lacks depth for rubs
Crushed dehydrated rings; rehydrate before adding but gives identical flavor
