  • 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 →

Parsley means fresh parsley leaves, the everyday green herb used in sauces, salads, stocks, and garnishes. One metric cup (250 ml) of chopped parsley weighs about 60 grams or 2.12 ounces. When a recipe calls for parsley by the cup but you have a bunch on the board, converting by weight keeps the amount right.

Chopped parsley settles differently depending on how fine you cut it and how firmly you pack the cup, so grams give a more reliable measure. This helps when scaling tabbouleh, gremolata, and herb sauces.

Mint is another fresh herb measured by the cup, sweeter and more cooling than parsley. Use mint in sweet dishes and drinks, parsley in savoury ones. See what 1 teaspoon of mint is in US cups.
