Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 04042: “Oil, peanut, salad or cooking”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 tbsp = 13.5g
- 1 cup = 216g
- 1 tsp = 4.5g
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.
