So? Most $100 bills are contaminated with cocaine.

I'm never eating another $100 bill ever again.

^But you might be able to grind it up and snort it.

Just a heads up, you can dehydrate peeled garlic cloves and then spice grind them into a powder.

I'm not in agreement with anything China does, food or otherwise. I prefer local, if I can't get that it's made in the US, if I can't get that I prefer western Europe, south America, or Australia. Weird? Maybe. But ill tell you, you find some insanely good products by forcing yourself to look closer. South American wines for example... my god its love and sunshine in a bottle.

Driven through Gilroy multiple times over the years. Love the smell of garlic while driving through there

Our grocery store has started selling pealed garlic petals (?) in 1-lb plastic bucket. Apparently, it is cheaper than buying whole garlic

I think the pealed garlic petals in 1-lb plastic bag/bucket are product of China. Some Korean grocery stores in So Cal have it at around $4-5, and it often on sale for half price.

It's simple and cheap to grow and grind your own garlic powder, as well as onion powder. Then I don't have to worry about the country of origin.

Do you often put your $100 bills in your mouth? I certainly don't.
