Dried herbs are concentrated: 1 tablespoon fresh ≈ 1 teaspoon dried. Convert either direction so the seasoning lands right.
Swap fresh and dried herbs at the 3:1 flavor ratio.
dried = fresh ÷ 3 · fresh = dried × 3
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 3:1 | Three parts fresh herb flavor ≈ one part dried |
1 tbsp fresh basil → 1 tsp dried. 2 tsp dried oregano → 2 tbsp fresh.
