I have looked and cant find anything yet.
How many pounds of fresh garlic does it take to make one pound of garlic powder? I'm trying to figure out how many pounds of garlic I eat every year. Worth |

Used to do lots of dried garlic it takes between just under 4 pounds if the garlic is well cured and up to around 6 pounds if the garlic has a lot of moisture in it.
Most store bought garlic powder is cut with a filler so it will not clump.

Thanks Henry That means I am eating about 10 pounds of garlic on my own every year. That's just about what I thought it was. Worth |

All you need is a knife, a dehydrator, a coffee grinder, and some time. I make it with the cloves deemed too small to plant every fall so that they're not sitting around or the garlic that's nearing the end of it's storage life in the spring. Simply peel, slice, and put in the dehydrator until completely dry. Then grind well in the coffee mill and store in an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry location so it won't clump up too much. |

I generally harvest (early to mid-July) when all but two leaves are brown. It's best to harvest when soil is dry, so if they're ready to be dug, and a huge storm is brewin'...
