Our Purple Stripe Garlic powder, grown in the mountains of northern Vietnam, is savory and sweet, and its flavor adds depth and complexity to everything it touches. This is an heirloom variety with a purple stripe on its papery skin and bulbs about half the size of what you're used to seeing. The rich, buttery aroma is a welcome addition to cooked dishes, breads and even as a sprinkle topping for pizza!
The powder can be used in place of fresh garlic, or as an upgrade to standard garlic powder. Add it to tomato sauces, stews, salad dressings or simply sprinkle it onto stir-fries or pizza.

SOURCING
We've partnered with DACE, a social enterprise in Vietnam, to connect with the farmers growing our Purple Stripe Garlic.
The garlic is grown by communities of Hmong farmers in Vietnam's northern highlands, who are learning to grow higher-value crops and transitioning to organic and regenerative agricultural methods. We're honored to support them in that work, and to share their deeply flavorful garlic with you!

Never too much garlic!
Tonight I opened my new jar of Purple Stripe Garlic, generously adding it to freshly-made mashed-then-whipped red potatoes, along with Drumstick Lemongrass, Flowering Hyssop Thyme, and a touch of Zanzibar Black Pepper. It was Delicious! This Spiciest Woman in the Neighborhood is loving all of my new Burlap&Barrel spices!

Purple Stripe Garlic, Black Urfa Chile, and Black Lime
Spurred to try these spices because of a recipe from the amazing Chef Maya-Camille of Justice of the Pies, I wasn’t disappointed. The Purple Stripe Garlic has a real depth and balance of flavor, the Black Lime adds an acidic kick, and for me, the star was the Black Urfa chile — a little oily, a lengthy spiciness that doesn’t have a painful edge, just an addictive flavor. As a bonus, the service was great. When my original box of three arrived, the plastic safety strip on the Purple Garlic had come off, and I felt a little nervous about using it. Burlap & Barrel promptly sent a new one, which arrived in a couple of days. I love the ethos of the company too, as it strives to use only responsibly sourced ingredients.
Who knew!
I did not know garlic powder could be this amazing! Depth of flavor you just don’t get with regular store bought!

Perfect everyday garlic
Buying this now instead of garlic—flavor is excellent and I don’t waste half a garlic bulb from not using it in time.

Great Garlic Powder
I use it every day, sometimes twice. It’s fresh and flavorful—get the big one. You can’t go wrong.

Love this garlic powder
This has been my go-to garlic powder for a while. Sensational.

Yummm
Great flavor- SO much better than the stuff I used to use. Can’t go back to supermarket spice after using this amazing garlic!

THE BEST
My wonderful aunt who is the most loyal Burlap & Barrel fan recommended the Purple Stripe Garlic to me. This puts all standard store-bought garlic powders to shame. This Purple Stripe Garlic is potent, flavorful, and DELICIOUS. This is a go-to spice for us and there is no going back. Total game-changer! If you are on the fence about whether to purchase this, just do it! You will not regret it!
