How Garlic Powder Converter Works?
The Garlic Powder Converter works by dividing grams of garlic powder by 3.1 g per level US teaspoon. Garlic powder is fine, dense and clumps in humid air.
Break up clumps
Shake the jar or crush clumps with a spoon. Clumped powder overfills the spoon.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 3 g for a dry rub.
Level and season
Level the spoon. ⅛ tsp of garlic powder replaces 1 fresh clove.
Garlic Powder Converter Formula
The Garlic Powder Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of garlic powder ÷ 3.1.
tsp = g ÷ 3.1 | 1 tbsp = 9.3 g | ⅛ tsp ≈ 1 fresh clove
- 3 g of garlic powder ÷ 3.1 = 0.97 tsp, about 1 tsp.
- 1 g of garlic powder ÷ 3.1 = 0.32 tsp, about ⅓ tsp.
- 4 fresh cloves = 4 × ⅛ tsp = ½ tsp (1.55 g) of garlic powder.
