FAQ
- Should I fill the teaspoon heaping or level for Black pepper, ground?
- Level. Heaping introduces 10–20 % weight variation; knife-leveling is consistent.
- Can I swap Black pepper, ground 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.
