How ½ cup of garlic powder works out
One US cup of garlic powder weighs 150 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 150 × 0.5 = 75 g. In the other direction, 75 g of garlic powder divided by 150 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of garlic powder (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 79.3 g.
Tip: Roughly ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder replaces one fresh clove. Don't confuse garlic powder with garlic salt, which is mostly salt.
