Tip of the Day: Sizing up Garlic


The size of a clove of garlic can really make an impact on your cooking due to the intense flavor. Find out the amount one clove produces when minced.
•Small clove yields: about 1/2 teaspoon
•Medium clove yields: about 1 teaspoon
•Large clove yields: about 2 teaspoons
•Extra-large clove yields: about 1 tablespoon
Regardless of size, don't forget to remove any green sprouts from the center of the clove, which can add an unpleasant bitterness.
