How to Convert Whole Spices to Ground Measurements

Have you ever thrown a bunch of whole spices into the spice grinder, hoping you get close to the amount you need, and then you’re stuck with a whole lot of ground cardamom that you would rather not have sitting around, waiting for its next use? Let’s not do that anymore.

Here’s the guide to measurements of whole spices to powdered. Bookmark it, print it out, keep it close.

Allspice: 1 teaspoon allspice berries = 1 teaspoon ground allspice

Black pepper: 1 teaspoon peppercorns = 1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper

Cardamom: Approximately 12 pods, dehusked = 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Cinnamon: One 1 1/2-inch (4-centimeter) stick = 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon powder

Coriander: 1 teaspoon coriander seeds = 1 1 /4 teaspoons ground coriander

Cumin: 1 teaspoon cumin seeds = 11/4 teaspoons ground cumin

Fennel: 1 teaspoon fennel seeds = 11/4 teaspoon ground fennel

Nutmeg: 1/2 nutmeg = 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Mustard seeds: 1 teaspoon mustard seeds = 11/2 tsp ground mustard

Then, get cooking (and drinking):
