How to measure ground turmeric accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh ground turmeric on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of ground turmeric weighs about 130 grams (4.59 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts ground turmeric and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Bloom turmeric briefly in hot oil at the start of cooking to mellow its raw, slightly bitter edge and release its colour.
