Fresh To Dry Herb Conversion Calculator

A common question in cooking is how much of a fresh herb you need when the recipe calls for dried. Generally, dried herbs are more potent than their fresh counterparts and require less quantity. The conversion ratio can vary depending on the specific herb, but a general guideline is that 1 tablespoon (tbsp) of dried herbs is equivalent to about 3 tablespoons of fresh herbs.

This ratio is based on the average dehydration rate of herbs. However, it’s always a good idea to adjust according to your personal taste and the specific herb you’re using.
