Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 11216: “Ginger root, raw”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 tsp = 2g
- 0.25 cup slices (1" dia) = 24g
- 5 slices (1" dia) = 11g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram. Full source list.
