Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.00 oz, based on ginger (ground) having a density of 96g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 6 (grams per tablespoon for ginger (ground)), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 4.72 tablespoons: 4.72 × 6 = 28.32g, then 28.32 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.00 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh ginger (ground) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
