How much powder equals fresh?
A quick guide for swapping fresh vegetables for IVARA powders in the recipes you already cook.
Powders are more concentrated than fresh vegetables, because the water is gone. Start small, taste, and add more a pinch at a time.
- Garlic: ¼ tsp for one clove.
- Onion: 1 tsp for one small onion, for flavour rather than texture.
- ABC juice: 1½ tsp per glass of water or milk, 1 tbsp per jar of overnight oats.
- Beetroot: 1 tsp per cup of curd or batter, for a clear pink.
Add onion and garlic powder to warm oil on low heat, or stir them in at the end. They cook in seconds.
