My grandparents were proud garlic farmers in the Finger Lakes region of NY. I was named Raema after my great-grandmother and grew up eating their hardneck garlic — a flavor that’s been part of me since the beginning.

Real garlic dust is VERY potent and finely ground. That sandy texture you find in generic garlic powder? It comes from fillers and anti-caking agents added so machines can jar it by the ton.
At Rockerbox, we skip the shortcuts. Every batch is jarred by hand in glass, so there’s no need for additives — just pure, unadulterated flavor the way it’s meant to be.
And making good food begins with using quality ingredients.
In 2011, I realized I expected more from garlic powder than the granulated generic stuff available at supermarkets. I expected garlic powder to be at least as flavorful as my grandparents’ hardneck garlic – that intense, borderline spicy pungency that store-bought garlic powders lack entirely. I looked everywhere, and it became clear that real garlic powder was nearly impossible to come by... so I started making my own.
Our garlic and onion powders are made simply — no fillers, no shortcuts — so you taste the true character and natural variety of each allium.
Skip the peeling and chopping. Our concentrated powders deliver the depth of fresh garlic and onions instantly, anytime you need them.
Pile it on without fear. Our blends are low- or no-salt, so you can add bold flavor freely without worrying about oversalting your dish.
Our pickled garlic is mouth-watering straight from the jar, perfect on sandwiches, and adds zing to any salad.
Our garlic collection boasts 3 different flavor profiles (Raw, Roasted, Black) and 2 different textures (Dust, Flakes) to choose from.
Not all onions taste the same — so why settle for one generic onion powder?
A small but mighty collection: low in salt, high in flavor, and endlessly versatile.
