Does crystal size affect how much Nutmeg, ground fits in a cup?

Yes — finer grains pack tighter and add 5–10 % more weight per cup. The table uses standard granulation.

Does Nutmeg, 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.

Ingredient
