Measuring Tip
Ground spices like cumin settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.
Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

Close, but not exactly. The teaspoons to ounces conversion for cumin may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A teaspoon of cumin can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
