❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why do different spices have different conversions?
Each spice has a unique density. For example, turmeric powder is much denser than dried basil leaves. Our converter uses specific density values for each spice to provide accurate conversions.
How accurate are these conversions?
Our conversions are based on standard density measurements and are accurate to within 2-3% for most spices. This level of accuracy is perfect for home cooking and most professional applications.
Can I use this for whole vs. ground spices?
Our database primarily covers ground spices, as they're most commonly used in cooking. Whole spices have different densities and should be measured separately.
