    Not op, but for small quantities, volumetric is usually more accurate. I know a teaspoon of yeast weighs about 3 grams, but most cheap kitchen scales can’t really be trusted until you’re measuring 10 grams or or more. A teaspoon of dried oregano is so light it probably doesn’t even register on most cheap kitchen scales.

  Hmmm yes flour is packed or unpacked? How dense?

    For some recipes unpacked and measured by bulk density.

    For other recipes you gotta do a slightly overfull cup measured by tamping density.

    Figuring out how to measure in which situation is left as an excecise to the reader.
