Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.64 ounces of nutmeg
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.64 × 28.35 = 74.84g
- 1 cup of nutmeg = 112g
- 74.84g ÷ 112g/cup = 0.67 cups × 16 = 10.69 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground spices like nutmeg settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.
