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.

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.

Parsley is another fresh herb measured the same way by the cup, milder and more grassy than mint. Swap with a flavour caveat: parsley suits savoury dishes, mint suits sweet and cooling ones. See parsley in tablespoons.

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 coriander in tablespoons.
