Because believe it or not distillations of ingredients can be expensive, and the average American doesn't have to make up for their lack of earning power with a rural barter system. Part of why we're fat as shit, though.

>Bartering is not a natural economic activity.
If you are talking about on a civilization-scale then yes it's not very effective as a means of trade as you do need to look for someone who wants your stuff and has the things you want.
>Even very ancient peoples would trade on debt or currency.
The earliest record is Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE where farmers would deposit their grain in the temple and gave the farmer a receipt in the form of a clay token which they could then use to pay fees or other debts to the temple.
>Since the bulk of the deposits in the temple were of the main staple, barley, a fixed quantity of barley came to be used as a unit of account.[53]

Also found this:
>Anthropologists have noted many cases of 'primitive' societies using what looks to us very like money but for non-commercial purposes, indeed commercial use may have been prohibited:

>Often, such currencies are never used to buy and sell anything at all. Instead, they are used to create, maintain, and otherwise reorganize relations between people: to arrange marriages, establish the paternity of children, head off feuds, console mourners at funerals, seek forgiveness in the case of crimes, negotiate treaties, acquire followers—almost anything but trade in yams, shovels, pigs, or jewelry.[51]

I live in Italy and they sell garlic powder everywhere. It's a life saver if you are out of fresh garlic and everything is closed.

>>15923189
You are right. I'm french and I've never used that, never saw anyone use it. I think only poor people buy it. I know some people buying the frozen kind but seriously, it take a few seconds to chop some garlics and oignons. People who cook use the real deal, lazy people who don't cook don't need powder. Would be really surprised if italians use that.

no pure barter economy has ever been observed anywhere on the planet, even among tribal peoples. barter does exist a temporary solution in times of crisis but the people doing it ironically still do their reckoning in terms of money, even in the absence of currency. europeans kept their accounts in roman denominations right up until the carolingian empire despite all the physical currency having vanished centuries prior

both garlic & red/white onions have a bad habit going sweet on you if you fry or broil them, because the amount of sugar in each clove/bulb can vary greatly. having either of these on hand is great for offsetting that--just spike your dish with a bit of it when its just about finished to make some of that pronounced onion or garlic taste come through better

i tried to find garlic and onion powder at the start of covid when you weren't sure how the availability of produce would be affected. found garlic powder easy enough but i've never seen onion powder here ever.
just got some dried vegetable mix with onion in it instead. actually wasn't bad.
