Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices are used to develop the character of a recipe as they flavor other foods and ingredients.
They also distinguish key ethnic and national dishes from each other.

For instance,
  • Italian recipes use parsley, basil, rosemary, and oregano
  • Scandinavian recipes use dill weed
  • French recipes use tarragon and chive
As important as they sound, herbs and spices can be troublesome in measurements and conversions.

Some of the recipes measure the herbs and spices in tablespoons. This web page will help you decide and estimate herbs and spices in approximate quantities.

For example,
If a recipe mentions 1 tablespoon of Ground Basil, then you would use 0.175 ounces.

Mass Measurements

Here we use the standard American measures of weight (mass): ounces and pounds. 

A gram, by the way, is a unit of measure in another system of measurement used around the world, known as the metric system. Most people in the United States, including cooks and chefs, measure weight in ounces and pounds, rather than grams and kilograms.

These measurements are typically abbreviated as follows:
  • Ounce = oz.
  • Pound = lb.

Volume Measurements

In the United States, we measure volumes using containers or vessels that hold a certain number of fluid ounces. Smaller amounts are measured in teaspoons and tablespoons. These volume measuring containers or vessels are called the cup, pint, quart, and gallon. 

  • 3 teaspoons make up 1 tablespoon.
  • 2 tablespoons make up 1 fluid ounce.
  • 1 cup contains 8 fluid ounces.
  • 1 pint contains 2 cups (16 fluid ounces).
  • 1 quart contains 2 pints (32 fluid ounces).
  • 1 gallon contains 4 quarts (128 fluid ounces).

These measurements are typically abbreviated as follows:

  • Teaspoons = tsp. (always lowercase)
  • Tablespoon = tbsp. or Tbs.
  • Cup = c., or cup
  • Pint = pt.
  • Quart = qt.
  • Gallon = gal.
  • Fluid ounce = fl. oz.
