Vegetables
Raw vs cooked vegetables differ in water content and packing. Use the correct cut and state.
Source: USDA FDC - vegetable search
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.
Examples and edge cases
- Raw vs cooked vegetables change water content (USDA FDC).
- Chopped vs whole pieces change packing (USDA FDC).
- Frozen vs fresh can shift moisture and mass (USDA FDC).
