Garlic (Powdered) is a dried garlic seasoning. It is a cooking spice, not a snack. It adds garlic flavour to savoury dishes and keeps without spoiling.
It is a common sight on restaurant kitchen counters and on grocery shelves. It is light at 0.2, so it is easy to keep in a cooking kit. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
Eating the powder straight is a bad idea. It lowers hunger by 10 but raises thirst by 20. It also raises unhappiness by 20, so the character ends up sadder and thirstier.
Fresh Garlic is the better thing to eat on its own. It lowers hunger by 5 with no mood penalty. The powder belongs in a dish, where its flavour is spread across a whole meal.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Garlic (Powdered) works as a spice in evolved dishes. It goes into Pizza, Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Burgers, Salad, Rice, Pasta, Sandwiches, Tacos and Burritos. In each it adds 1 hunger.
A spice does not take one of the dish's ingredient slots. That leaves room for the meat and vegetables that do the filling. The game treats the powder as a minor ingredient.
These dishes take the Garlic (Powdered) as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
The powder is a dried food. It keeps for as long as it is needed and makes a reliable store cupboard spice. The game marks it as unable to be frozen, so it belongs on a shelf rather than in a freezer.
Locations
Restaurant kitchen counters are the best place to look. Mexican and pizza kitchens hold it most often, followed by cafeteria and Italian kitchens. Burger, deep fry, Western, Chinese and other restaurant kitchens carry it too.
Gigamart and grocery store shelves stock it now and then. A house kitchen counter or cupboard can turn one up. Survivor caches sometimes hold some as well.
