The number of teaspoons you get from three garlic cloves depends on their size. On average:
- Small clove: 1 clove equals about ½ teaspoon minced.
- Medium clove: 1 clove equals about 1 teaspoon minced.
- Large clove: 1 clove equals about 1 ½ teaspoons minced.
So, if you have three medium garlic cloves, you’ll get approximately 3 teaspoons, which is equivalent to 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
When using pre-minced garlic from a jar, it’s important to check the packaging, as some jarred garlic can have slightly different conversions due to the liquid it’s stored in. Always adjust based on personal taste, as garlic flavor can vary in intensity.
