Yes! One can substitute 1/2 the recommended fresh herbs with dried herbs. One must be careful, though. If an herb is meant to be a garnish, of course its dried version would usually be less appealing.
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram equals 6 teaspoons of fresh. when using any dried herbs, us 1/4 of the amount stated for fresh herbs.
marjoram = sweet marjoram = knot marjoram = knotted marjoram Pronunciation: MAR-jer-um Notes: Marjoram is sweeter and milder than its close relative, oregano. It's often used to season meats and fish, and works best when its added near the end of the cooking period. Fresh is best, but frozen or dried marjoram are acceptable substitutes. Don't confuse this with wild marjoram, which is better known as oregano. Equivalents: 1 tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dried. Substitutes: oregano (This is very similar, but not as sweet and mild as marjoram. Substitute two parts of oregano for three parts of marjoram.) OR thyme OR sage OR basil OR summer savoryFrom this website: http://www.foodsubs.com/HerbsEur.htmlI have used oregano for marjoram as recommended by this site in the ratio specified and had good results. Good luck!
Yes, but dried spices are more potent.
How much ground thyme do I use in place of chopped thyme
You can use nearly the same ratio to substitute for most herbs. 3 to 1. You want one third the amount of dried as the amount of fresh that is called for. That would be approximately 1 teaspoon of dried to one tablespoon of fresh. However, it also depends on how fresh your dried herbs are. Fresher dried herbs will have a stronger flavor and you may be able to use less. Older dried herbs will have a weaker flavor and may require more.
yes, if it is dried and powdered it can be sustitute for a flour...
The same amount as 510mg of brick. 510mg.
dried semen
No, it's a plant somewhat like lettuce. The leaves are used as a green and the roots are dried, ground and used as an additive or substitute in some coffee.

If the parsley is to be used as a garnish, I wouldn't substitute dried.
basil, savory, garlic, parsley, oregano* (or marjoram), all can be used in generic "Italian Seasoning" mixes among other herbs or spices. It depends on the manufacturer and use. *Note: marjoram (mexican oregano) is often substituted for true oregano. I once had a jar of "Oregano" from a major spice manufacturer that listed the ingredients on the label. It was one word, Marjoram.
