The difference is the particle size and the way they deliver flavour. They can be used interchangably most of the time. Garlic powder is great for sauces and marinades while garlic granules is a good way to add texture. 
1 tablespoon of Garlic Granules = I clove fresh Garlic
1 teaspoon of Ground Garlic = 1 clove fresh Garlic

Both of these two products contain a blend of Marjoram, Basil, Thyme and Rosemary. The difference is the ratio of these herbs in each of them and the additional ingredients:
Italian Herbs is a blend of Marjoram, Basil, Thyme and Rosemary plus Red Capsicums and Parsley.
Mixed Herbs is a blend of Marjoram, Basil, Thyme and Rosemary plus Sage.
The addition of red capsicum and parsley in MasterFoods Italian Herbs helps to add brightness to your dishes and the sage in MasterFoods Mixed Herbs will add some depth in delivering flavour complexity.

1 teaspoon of Garlic powder or minced garlic = 1 fresh garlic clove

1 tablespoon of Onion powder can replace about 1 medium size onion or 1 cup of chopped onion. 

MasterFoods All Purpose Seasoning is a versatile blend with paprika, garlic and onion. This all-rounder seasoning will transform any meal. Try MasterFoods All Purpose Seasoning Blend sprinkled over chicken, lamb, any meats or vegetables before grilling or roasting.

MasterFoods Moroccan Seasoning Blend is the perfect blend of spices to create Moroccan inspired flavours. With Turmeric, Paprika, Cumin and a touch of Chilli, sprinkle this seasoning on your favourite meats and vegetables or try with chicken, lamb or baked cauliflower.

Paprika is great for adding warmth and sweetness to a dish, while Smoked Paprika has a sweet, smokey, slightly woody capsicum flavour.

1 teaspoon of Ground Cumin equals 2 - 2.5 teaspoons of Cumin Seeds

1 tablespoon of Minced Ginger can be replaced with 1/4 teaspoon of Ground Ginger

Masterfoods Cajun Seasoning is a fragrant blend with Paprika, Basil, Chilli and Fennel. The chilli contributes to the heat experienced with this seasoning, which has a chilli heat rating of Hot. You can find an indication of the heat level on its packaging with 1 = Mild, 2 = Medium and 3 = Hot.

Coriander seeds have a pleasant aroma and flavour with a citrus undertone. MasterFoods Coriander Seeds Ground adds a depth of flavour to stocks, soups and marinades.

To determine the best mustard pairings, consider the following factors:
1. Type of Mustard
Wholegrain Mustard: Pairs well with cold meats, cheeses, and hearty dishes. Its texture and flavour complement roasted meats, salads, and marinades.
Dijon Mustard: Versatile for dressings, sauces, and marinades. It works well with poultry, seafood, and vegetables.
Yellow Mustard: Classic for hot dogs, burgers, and sandwiches. It adds a tangy flavour to casual dishes.
Spicy Mustard: Ideal for adding heat to meats, cheeses, and spicy recipes.

2. Flavour & Texture Profile Compatibility
Match the mustard’s flavour intensity with the dish:
Mild Mustards: Suitable for delicate dishes like chicken, fish, or salads.
Strong or Spicy Mustards: Better for bold flavours such as roasted meats, charcuterie, or spicy sauces.
Textured Mustards: Great for adding texture or crunch to salads and cheese boards
Smooth Mustards: blend well into sauces and dressings

3. Cuisine and Dish Type
Meat Dishes: Mustard pairs beautifully with beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. For example, Dijon or wholegrain mustard enhances roasts and stews.
Cheese and Cold Cuts: Wholegrain and spicy mustards complement cheeses and charcuterie boards.
Sandwiches and Wraps: Mustard adds flavour and moisture, especially in hearty sandwiches.
Sauces and Dressings: Incorporate mustard into vinaigrettes, mayonnaise, or creamy sauces for added depth.

4. Complementary Ingredients
Pair mustard with ingredients that enhance its flavour:
Honey or maple syrup for a sweet contrast.
Vinegar or citrus for acidity.
Herbs like dill, tarragon, or thyme for aromatic complexity.
Spices such as black pepper, paprika, or cayenne for heat.

Use these guidelines as a starting point, and enjoy experimenting to discover your perfect combinations.

The heat level in a product is indicated by industry standard pictures of chilli on the pack: 1 = Mild, 2 = Medium and 3 = Hot.

Quite frankly we’re stumped with this one. We love sauce. It makes Australia’s favourite delicacies that bit more delicious. What would a snag be without Tomato Sauce or BBQ sauce?

We’ve engaged our team of food scientists, flavour creators and most importantly our consumers to settle this once and for all. After much debate, that sometimes got quite heated, we have come to a very important conclusion.

It belongs in both!

Our sauces can be enjoyed whichever way you’d like. In case you need your sauce to last longer we recommend that you put it in the fridge after opening.

But after all is said and done, there’s one thing we can all agree on.

MasterFoods™ is Australia’s favourite sauce.

We do not add MSG to any of our products, however some ingredients may contain naturally occurring glutamates.

We ensure that all our raw materials are from non-genetically modified sources/ingredients.
