How to measure chili powder

Stir it to loosen it, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without pressing, and level the top with a straight edge. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down, so the cup weighs more than the table. For small amounts, dip the measuring spoon and level it the same way.

USDA weighed 1 tbsp at 8 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 chili powder: 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 = 8 g), the same data the LevelSpoon converter uses, so the page and the app always agree.
