Measuring Tip
Ground spices like garlic powder settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.
Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 tablespoon of garlic powder is 9.69 g. The conversion depends on the density of garlic powder and scales proportionally for any amount.
The most accurate way is to weigh garlic powder on a kitchen scale, especially at small quantities where precision matters most. If measuring by volume, dip the spoon into the container and level it off with a straight edge. Do not tap or shake the spoon, which settles the powder and increases the amount.
Close, but not exactly. The tablespoons to grams conversion for garlic powder may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of garlic powder can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
