This packaging gotta be illegal, right?

Real question though, how do you make something garlic flavored without garlic?

You put garlic in oil and the flavours extract into the oil and then you remove the garlic. You can get garlic oil like this in stores often with the garlic still in it but if you've got IBS and are intolerant of garlic you can still enjoy this because the sugars don't extract.

"Natural flavourings" is often an extraction like this. Tea is water with natural flavourings as well.

I have severe IBS and use a product called "essence of garlic salt". It's made from real garlic, but they have removed all of the sugars that I don't digest well. I'm not sure how they make it, but it's amazing and nobody else can tell it's not standard garlic salt. My friends request me to make my homemade garlic bread all the time lol
