1 tbsp garlic powder in grams
1 tbsp of garlic powder = 9.38 grams · 14.8 ml · 3 tsp

How 1 tbsp of garlic powder works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of garlic powder and multiply: 150 × 0.062 = 9.38 g. By volume that is 14.8 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, so 1 tbsp of garlic powder from an Australian recipe is about 12.7 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Roughly ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder replaces one fresh clove. Don't confuse garlic powder with garlic salt, which is mostly salt.
