  • A teaspoon here is the 5 ml standard, the same in the UK, Europe, and Australia. A US teaspoon is fractionally smaller at about 4.9 ml. When teaspoon size matters →
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

When a recipe calls for crushed garlic by the cup or spoon and you are working from a jar, the gram weight takes the guesswork out. One metric cup (250 ml) of crushed garlic weighs 150 g (5.29 oz). This converter moves between cups, grams, tablespoons, and more.

Crushed garlic is potent, so a heavy spoon can tip a sauce from savoury to sharp. Measuring by weight keeps marinades, dressings, and pasta sauces balanced batch to batch.

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.
