The amount of minced garlic you get from one clove depends on the size of the clove and how finely you mince it, but here's a general guideline:
-
One medium clove of garlic yields approximately ½ teaspoon of minced garlic.
Here's a breakdown of how much minced garlic you might get from different clove sizes:
-
Small clove: Around ⅓ teaspoon minced garlic
-
Medium clove (most common): About ½ teaspoon minced garlic
-
Large clove: Up to 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Important to note:
-
Commercially minced garlic or garlic paste is usually more concentrated than fresh minced garlic. For these products, refer to the jar or package instructions for equivalency.
-
Chopped garlic is larger in pieces than minced garlic, so you'll get less chopped garlic from one clove compared to minced garlic.
