How this conversion works

Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Textured vegetable protein (dry) has a density of 0.35 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 4 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Textured vegetable protein (dry) so every measurement is accurate.

Measurement notes

Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
