Conversor de Alho

The Garlic Converter helps substitute different forms of garlic in recipes. It converts fresh garlic cloves into chopped garlic, garlic powder, or grams using the standard equivalence: 1 medium clove equals approximately 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and about 3 grams.

To use it, input the number of cloves your recipe requires. The tool automatically calculates the equivalent measures in other forms. For example, 3 cloves become 3 teaspoons chopped, 1.5 teaspoons powder, or 9 grams. This is handy when you only have garlic powder at home or need to chop fresh garlic.

Use this converter whenever you need to adapt a recipe. It's common to find recipes calling for chopped garlic but you only have powder, or vice versa. It also helps calculate the right amount of dehydrated garlic to substitute for fresh, keeping the flavor balanced.

Caution: garlic powder is more concentrated than fresh. The equivalence of ½ teaspoon powder per clove already accounts for that. Do not use the same amount of powder as you would chopped, or the dish will be too strong. Also, clove sizes vary; the conversion is for medium cloves. Very large or small cloves may require adjustments.
