  • 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 →

Garlic powder is dehydrated, ground garlic used as a pantry seasoning when fresh cloves are out of reach. One metric cup (250 ml) of garlic powder weighs about 150 grams or 5.29 ounces, dense thanks to the fine grind. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs around 3 grams.

Garlic powder is far more concentrated than a clove, so getting the amount right matters: too much turns rubs and dressings bitter. Measuring by weight gives consistent results when scaling spice mixes or seasoning blends.
