How to measure active dry yeast
It pours freely, so fill a dry measuring cup until it overflows and sweep the top level with a straight edge. It hardly packs down, so a leveled cup comes out close to the table every time.
USDA weighed 1 tbsp at 12 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 active dry yeast: 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 = 12 g), the same data the LevelSpoon converter uses, so the page and the app always agree.
