Anything in a jar has to be cooked first to kill micro organisms so the taste will be different than fresh.
There is powdered garlic-I find it sticks together no matter what you do.
I used to use minced dried garlic. It keeps like forever and it works well in cooked dishes. I've not seen it offered for sale anywhere around here.

A lot of people are saying the jarred is not safe or healthy. But what if you make your own?
"HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN JARRED MINCED GARLIC
I love making my own ingredients. Things that you usually purchase at the grocery store I like to try making my own. I call it 'cooking DIY'. Sometimes it works, sometimes it really doesn't! I recently discovered that it was possible to make your own jarred minced garlic. After reading the very short list of ingredients on a few bottles at the grocery store I realized how easy it would be! Most of them contain garlic, water, and citric acid, with maybe some olive oil in there. That's it."
