Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
