FAQ
- Does a tablespoon of cooked Red lentils, cooked measure pieces or mass?
- Mass. The spoon's volume is filled with hydrated pieces whose weight reflects cooking water retention, not dry density.
- Can I swap Red lentils, cooked for another cooked grain/legume at the same gram weight?
- Mass equivalence works; hydration ratio and texture vary. Cooked quinoa, lentils and rice absorb different amounts of liquid per gram — taste-test when you swap.
