The answer depends on the ingredient being measured. Different herbal powders, teas, extracts, mushrooms, and spices all have different densities and textures.

For example:

  • 1 teaspoon of water weighs about 5 grams
  • 1 teaspoon of fluffy loose herbs may weigh only 2–3 grams
  • 1 teaspoon of dense extract powder may weigh 6 grams or more

Always remember: fine powders pack more densely than cut herbs or leaves.
