Standard Conversion Chart
One medium clove is approximately 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon flakes, 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt.
Usage Notes
Clove size varies, so treat these values as practical estimates. Garlic salt also adds sodium, so reduce added table salt in the recipe when you substitute it for fresh garlic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much garlic powder equals one clove?
About 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder replaces one medium clove.
Is minced garlic the same as chopped garlic?
No. Minced garlic is finer, so the same clove yields about half as much minced garlic by teaspoon volume compared with chopped garlic.
Can I convert powder back to cloves?
Yes. Enter garlic powder as the input form and the calculator will show the equivalent number of cloves and other forms.
Does garlic salt count as plain garlic?
Only partly. Garlic salt includes salt, so use less additional salt in the dish and expect a slightly different flavor balance.
