Compaction & Particle Headspace
Scooping canned plain tomato sauce directly compresses air voids between granules, cramming up to 15 percent extra mass into the same cup volume.
Regional Cup Standard Variance
A US Customary cup holds 236.59ml (240g), a US Legal cup holds 240ml (243g), and a Metric cup holds 250ml (254g). Misidentifying cup capacity alters recipe scale mass by up to 6 percent.
