How to measure ground black pepper
USDA weighed “1 tbsp, ground”. The same food whole, chopped, sliced, shredded or mashed fills a cup differently, so this table fits recipes that ask for it in that form; weigh when it matters.
USDA weighed 1 tbsp, ground at 6.9 g. The cup rows multiply that up (1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp), so for a cup or more, weighing is more accurate than counting spoons.
Other charts may list a different weight for a cup of ground black pepper: it depends on how the cup is filled and on the brand. The numbers on this page come from one measured USDA portion (1 tbsp, ground = 6.9 g), the same data the LevelSpoon converter uses, so the page and the app always agree.
