Explanation

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

Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.

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 Black Pepper (Ground)?

Black Pepper (Ground) 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.
