Italian Seasoning

cups → ounces

Italian seasoning weighs only 45g per cup — one of the lightest spice blends because dried herbs (the main ingredient) are mostly air. Typical blend: equal parts dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram. Most recipes use ½ to 1 teaspoon (about 1-2g). Best added at the start of cooking for sauces (oil bloom releases flavor) and end of cooking for finishing fresh salads. Replace yearly — dried herbs lose volatile oils fast.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS

READ TIME · 2 MIN

If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.

A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.

Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.

The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
