I use real garlic. How much "real minced" equals how much powdered?
Thanks, Me

Due to the vast differences in quality between brands of garlic powder, and
the variability of the crops themselves, it's impossible to determine
equivalents. Is it a general question? Or does it refer to a specific
recipe?

Totally depends on the brand. Use it to taste.

FWIW, I think they are different beasts, actually - and I use them as
two separate seasonings.
