Granulated Garlic v. Real Garlic Equation

[Smokin Bill]

I'm looking for a rule of thumb if there is such a thing.

For sausage recipes there are often powdered onion or granulated garlic ingredients. Is there such a thing as a rule of thumb like a teaspoon of onion powder is equal to a half an onion or how many gloves of garlic equals a teaspoon of dried garlic spice? The recipe I'm looking at even includes basil and oregano which I'd rather use fresh spices for; anybody, anybody?

I'm thinking that if I cube the meat at 3/4 to 1 inch max and mince garlic or run onion through the food processor till it's much or cut fresh basil small then mix it in the meat then grind I ought to get good distribution and good quality flavoring.

Comments on any of this is welcome.

Equivalents:
A head or bulb of garlic usually contains about 10 cloves. 1 clove = 1 teaspoon chopped garlic = 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder = 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes = 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic = 1/2 teaspoon garlic juice
Substitutes:

• granulated garlic (provides flavor, but not texture) OR
• garlic flakes (Substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes for every clove of garlic) OR
• garlic powder (Substitute 1/8 teaspoon powder for every clove of garlic called for in recipe.) OR
• garlic salt (Substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt for every clove of fresh garlic called for in recipe. Reduce salt in recipe.) OR
• asafetida (powder) OR
• rocambole OR
• garlic juice (especially when you want the flavor, but not the pungency, of garlic) OR
• shallots OR
• onions OR
• garlic chives

1 clove = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

That's what it says on the back of my Garlic Powder container.

On the Onion Powder container it says that 1 tablespoon of onion powder = 1/2 cup of chopped fresh onion

Hope this helps.
