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?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
