API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

Calculation basis: the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.

Asafoetida uses a recorded reference of 144 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: low. Source basis: and1 ingredient weight chart: 1 tablespoon asafoetida powder = 9 g (derived to 1 cup = 144 g) https://www.and1.com/measurements/cups-in-gram/

Evidence status: source-unverified. The cited AND1 source has not been independently verified. Its current domain context does not establish the original measurement. Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this use a US cup?

Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.

Does grind size change the result for Asafoetida?

Asafoetida keeps one reference basis here, but fine vs coarse grind can change how loosely the spice fills a spoon or cup. Keep the measuring style consistent if you want repeatable results.
