FAQ

Should I scoop or spoon-and-level Seaweed, Kelp, Raw?
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 the brand of Seaweed, Kelp, Raw change the gram value meaningfully?
For most household brands, no — density varies <5 %. Professional bakery variants (e.g. high-protein, strong-rise) may differ more; check the package label.
