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: saunth.
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 ginger weighs about 86 g (3 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 91 g.
1 level tablespoon of ground ginger is about 5.4 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 1.8 g.
100 g of ground ginger is about 1.16 cups, or 18.6 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Ground Ginger is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (86 g vs 237 g).
