Virtually all of the garlic you find in grocery stores comes from either Gilroy, California or China. I don’t buy Chinese garlic. I try to avoid Chinese food products in general. There have been just too many scandals in the Chinese food industry and too many recalls of tainted and dangerous food products. Nearly 100% of the garlic grown in the U.S. comes from Gilroy. It is relatively easy to find fresh Gilroy garlic in grocery stores, but it can be very hard to find Gilroy-grown garlic powder. Most of the garlic powder sold in the U.S. comes from China. I was impressed recently when I saw at Safeway big bottles of ‘McCormick California Style Garlic Powder.’ However, as my sister Bonnie says, I have a suspicious nature, and the word ‘style’ on the label made me suspicious. What is the difference, I wondered, between California garlic powder and California style garlic powder? On the back label, it explained it. It said ‘Product of U.S.A. and China.’ I don’t see any to tell what percentage of the garlic comes from California and what percentage comes from China. Now – I have been living in California for over 40 years, and here in California, the term ‘California style’ does not mean ‘Made in China.’ I now have in the chocolate room bottles of real Gilroy-grown garlic powder. This is real stuff! As I said, this can be hard to find this in stores. If you want some, come and pick up a bottle.
