I'm not familiar with grams. How many teaspoons are they? Where did the recipe you posted come from. Curious as to it’s origins |

I came up with it based on open information. What do you think?

Among several other issues, densities are highly problematic for volume measure. For example, if any of your mentioned ingredients are whole or leaf their densities will lead to vastly different weight measures in grams vs. if you are speaking of pre-ground ingredients.

I'm not familiar with grams. How many teaspoons are they? Grams are weight. Teaspoons are volume. Since no two herbs/spices have precisely the same weight to volume relationship your question is unanswerable. Recipes by weight are far more precise and repeatable. This is the gram scale that I use: www.amazon.com/Weigh-Gram-Digital-Jewelry-Kitchen/dp/B06Y61YW7S/ref=sr_1_8 |

YES BUT in the 1930 most measurement were done in Teaspoons and they did not care about weight.
The weight only comes into place for quick making mass amounts of Spices

The weight only comes into place for quick making mass amounts of Spices You are confusing two different things. 1) The spice manufacturers cared about weight for legal purposes, but also cared about packaging costs and packaging uniformity (thus unifying their tin size regardless of weight). 2) The end user used volume measure because $9 scales capable of 0.01 gram precision were 100 years in the future. If you can buy 0.01 gram precision for $9, why rely upon volume imprecision? |

I know what your saying about how much is in the Tins
BUT Teaspoon measurement was what they did originally.
It easy to calculation to weights from Teaspoon with any shelf spice you have by weighting the amount. Then its just work it into the 200g of flour ETC
