FAQ

Does Black pepper, ground from a bulk bin weigh the same as pre-packaged?
The ingredient itself yes, but bulk bins may have more humidity and settling. For precise baking, weigh; for cooking, the difference is minor.
Does humidity add weight to Black pepper, ground over time?
A little — dry granules absorb ambient moisture and can gain 1–2 % mass in humid environments. Store airtight to keep the table values close to nominal.
