Mint means fresh mint leaves, the bright herb stirred through salads, teas, sauces, and juices. One metric cup (250 ml) of loosely packed mint leaves weighs about 30 grams or 1.06 ounces. When a recipe lists mint by the cup but you are working from a bunch, converting by weight keeps the flavour balanced.

Fresh leaves pack loosely and unevenly, so a cup of mint can vary with how tightly you press them in. Weighing in grams gives a steadier result when scaling dressings, mojitos, and green juices.

Coriander (cilantro) is a fresh leafy herb measured by the cup like mint, with a citrusy, polarising flavour. Use it in salsas and curries; it is not a flavour match for mint. See what 1 cup of coriander is in grams.
