A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Chopped fruit and vegetables are loosely packed. Purées and mashes are spooned in and levelled.
One garlic clove gives about 1 teaspoon minced.
Also called: lehsun.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of minced garlic weighs about 136 g (4.8 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 144 g.
1 level tablespoon of minced garlic is about 8.5 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 2.8 g.
100 g of minced garlic is about 0.74 cups, or 11.8 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Minced Garlic is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (136 g vs 237 g).
