Onion & garlic, what ratios from fresh to powdered

[ruger686]

Gator, or anyone with this knowledge:
If I were taking a recipe that uses fresh onion and garlic and changing them to powdered, what would the ratio be approximately? Let's say a clove of garlic equals about how much powdered garlic? Or how much powdered onion should go into it if the recipe calls for 1/2 chopped or diced onion? I kinda have an idea, but I wanna know what the experts think. Thanks!

All I know is that powdered or dry herbs and spices are more potent than fresh.. I would just go by taste if I'm tweaking a recipe. I'm sure you will get better advice...

This is a guideline I use.


Garlic - Clove - 1 clove = 1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 small onion = 1/3 cup = 1 teaspoon onion powder = 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

Cant hardly go wrong with 2 T. onyawn powder and 1 T. garlic powder per normal sized batch of whutever your making. I prefer the granulated variety over the powders. Not sure the eggxact difference but it makes me feel mo betta to use the granulated stuff.

Don't know how they compare measure to measure either, but I do know that the granulated stuff don't clump up like the powdered variety...
