Why Cup Weights Vary in Spices
Spices and salts present extreme density spectrums. Fine table salt consists of dense sodium chloride crystals packed tightly at 292 grams per cup (6g per tsp). Coarse Maldon flake salt features hollow pyramid crystals that trap vast air space, weighing only 135 grams per cup (2.8g per tsp). Ground bark spices like cinnamon weigh ~125 grams per cup (2.6g per tsp). Ground seed spices (black pepper, cumin, coriander) average 110-120 grams per cup. Essential oil content also influences weight; freshly ground nutmeg contains volatile oils that increase density compared to dry pre-ground powders.
