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."
