When should I weigh Rosemary, fresh instead of using cups?

Whenever the recipe specifies grams or when flavor and texture hinge on exact amounts. Cups are practical; scales are accurate.

What error margin should I expect on Rosemary, fresh measurements?

About ±10 % for volume measures, ±1 % for scale measures. Recipes robust to ±10 % work from either; tight bakes need the scale.

Rosemary, fresh; woody herb with needle-like leaves and strong pine aroma.

Ingredient

Measure loosely; finely chop to release flavor. A packed tablespoon weighs more than leaves-on sprigs.
