Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 11821: “Peppers, sweet, red, raw”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 cup, chopped = 149g
- 1 cup, sliced = 92g
- 1 tablespoon = 9.3g
- 1 large (2-1/4 per pound, approx 3-3/4" long, 3" dia.) = 164g
- 1 medium (approx 2-3/4" long, 2-1/2 dia.) = 119g
- 1 small = 74g
- 1 ring (3" dia., 1/4" thick) = 10g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. The teaspoon is a third of the tablespoon. 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.
