  • These figures use the metric cup (250 ml). A US cup is slightly smaller at 240 ml, so it holds a little less. Use the US cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Coriander here means fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), the herb scattered over curries, salsas, and noodle bowls. One metric cup (250 ml) of loosely packed leaves weighs about 16 grams or 0.56 ounces. When a recipe lists coriander by the cup but you bought a bunch, converting by weight keeps the amount on track.

The delicate leaves are light and airy, so a cup of coriander weighs far less than denser herbs and varies with packing. Weighing in grams gives a steadier result for salsas, chutneys, and garnishes.

  • cilantro
  • fresh coriander
  • coriander leaves
  • chinese parsley

Flat-leaf parsley looks almost identical to coriander and is measured the same way by the cup, but tastes grassy rather than citrusy. Swap when you want the look without the polarising flavour. See our Parsley converter.

Mint is another fresh herb measured by the cup, sweeter and more cooling than coriander. They suit different dishes, so treat any swap as a flavour change. See our Mint converter.
