A–Z filter

Primer

These category tables convert volume to mass using ingredient-specific densities. Use weight for precision; volume varies with packing, cut, and temperature.

Methodology

Density references are summarized from U.S. government sources (USDA FoodData Central, USDA FNDDS) and lab-standard data when available.
Conversions keep higher-precision intermediates and round to practical kitchen values.
Default volume is the US cup unless a page explicitly uses metric or UK standards.

Unit standards

Mass: grams (g).
Volume: mL, US cup, tbsp, tsp.
Assumed temperature: room temperature unless stated otherwise.
