Garlic
Fresh garlic brings pungency and a touch of sweetness that powder cannot match. Use fresh when raw flavour matters (dressings, garlic bread); powder shines in dry rubs and long-cooked sauces where you want even distribution. See our Garlic converter.
Crushed Garlic
Crushed garlic brings the fresh pungency that powder lacks. Swap it in for dressings, garlic bread, and quick sautes; keep powder for dry rubs and even seasoning through a blend. See our Crushed Garlic converter.
Turmeric 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.
