  • A pinch here is 1/16 teaspoon, about 0.3 ml, the one-finger pinch held between thumb and forefinger. A pinch is not a standard measure and varies between cooks: some spoon sets and recipes use 1/8 teaspoon, roughly double. For anything that has to rise or set, weigh it instead of pinching.

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.

  • ground garlic
  • dried garlic powder

Turmeric powder is another fine-ground dry spice with the same 150 g per cup weight. Use the turmeric powder converter for curries and golden-milk recipes. See our Turmeric Powder converter.

Crushed garlic is the fresh form: punchier and used by the spoon. It weighs the same 150 g per cup but is swapped by the teaspoon, since powder is far more concentrated. See our Crushed Garlic converter.

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