FAQ
- Should I scoop or spoon-and-level Chili powder?
- Spoon-and-level for accuracy. Scooping directly from the bag compacts the powder and adds 20–30 g per cup — enough to ruin a tight bake.
- Does old Chili powder still weigh the same even if it leavens less?
- Yes — chemical potency can fade over a year while the gram weight per cup stays constant. The conversion table is still valid; replace the product for fresh rising power.
