FAQ

Why does a packed cup of Barley, pearled, dry show a smaller volume for the same grams?
Because packing reduces air gaps: the same mass fits in less cup volume. The table assumes loose fill as the reference.
Can I swap Barley, pearled, dry for a different granulation without changing the gram count?
By weight the conversion is unchanged — a gram is a gram. Volume readings do shift, so match granulation if a recipe specifies cups.
