Garlic Powder Rounds Out the Onion

Garlic powder and onion powder almost always show up together in a spice blend, and there's a reason for that - together they build a savory base that neither one quite achieves alone.

Fresh garlic gets a lot of attention for allicin, the compound responsible for its pungency, but the drying process used to make powder reduces how much of that you actually get. What's left is a milder, more mellow garlic flavor - which is honestly what you want in a seasoning blend meant to complement other spices, not fight with them.

Garlic powder is only in the Paleo Taco Seasoning.
