A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Small amounts are measured with level measuring spoons; for spices a tiny weighing error matters little, but for salt and leaveners use level spoons.
Also called: jeera powder.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of ground cumin weighs about 101 g (3.6 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 107 g.
1 level tablespoon of ground cumin is about 6.3 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 2.1 g.
100 g of ground cumin is about 0.99 cups, or 15.8 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Ground Cumin is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (101 g vs 237 g).
