Usage
Onion or Garlic Powder: Is It Hard or Caked?
Garlic and onion products (especially garlic and onion powder) are prone to clumping. This is because garlic and onion will absorb moisture very readily. We do not put anti-caking agents in these products. Clumping does not diminish the quality – just break up the clumps with a knife or fork, or whirl in the blender.

Recipe Multiplication Guidelines
Spices
Black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, curry powder, chili powder, allspice and cloves can usually be increased proportionally, (double the recipe, double the spice or blend of spices).
Herbs
Herbs are best increased by this simple formula. For the first 100% increase in the number of portions, the herbs can also be doubled. After that, for each multiple of the original recipe, add only half the original amount.
Red Pepper
Remember red hot pepper builds up in recipes. For the first doubling of the recipe, the red pepper can still be doubled. But after that, use only ¼ the original amount of pepper for each multiple of the original recipe.
