Does how I chop Arugula, raw change the cup weight?

Yes — finely diced packs tighter and weighs more per cup than a rough chop. The table uses a standard medium cut.

Does substituting fresh Arugula, raw for frozen change the gram reading?

Yes — frozen pieces carry ice crystals that add 5–10 % to the cup reading. Drain thoroughly after thaw before weighing to match fresh values.

Ingredient

Measure loosely for salads; packing increases weight per cup a lot.
