Garlic powder is the dry-pantry stand-in when you have no fresh cloves. It is far more concentrated, so swap by the teaspoon, not cup for cup; use the garlic powder converter for rubs and spice blends. See our Garlic Powder converter.

Chopped onion is the other prepped allium measured by the cup or gram. Use the chopped onion converter when a recipe lists onion by volume instead of whole onions. See our Chopped Onion converter.

Working from whole bulbs? The garlic converter scales a recipe by heads or cloves, with weights per size for small, medium, and large bulbs. See our Garlic converter.
