  • These figures use the US cup (240 ml). A metric cup is slightly larger at 250 ml, so it holds a little more. Use the metric 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 teaspoon here is the 5 ml standard, the same in the UK, Europe, and Australia. A US teaspoon is fractionally smaller at about 4.9 ml. When teaspoon size matters →
  • 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 what 1 teaspoon of parsley is in US cups.

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 teaspoon of coriander is in US cups.
