Each row is USDA’s 1-cup weight (218 g) times the amount. A tablespoon is 1/16 cup and a teaspoon is 1/48 cup, so 1 tbsp = 218 ÷ 16 = 13.6 g. Ounces are grams ÷ 28.3495. USDA also weighed small measures on their own (1 tbsp: 14 g; 1 tsp: 4.5 g). Those can differ from the cup-based rows by a few tenths of a gram because each weight is rounded.

| 250 g | 1.15 | 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 1 tsp |
