Pepper is the ground form of dried peppercorns, the spice that sits next to salt on nearly every table. One metric cup (250 ml) of ground pepper weighs about 115 grams or 4.06 ounces, light for a spice thanks to its fine grind. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon or pinch, not the cup, so a quick gram or teaspoon conversion is usually all you need.

Ground pepper is potent, so a heavy hand throws a dish off balance fast. Measuring by weight keeps spice blends and dry rubs consistent from batch to batch.

Peppercorns are the whole, dried form pepper is ground from. A cup of peppercorns weighs more (140 g) than a cup of ground pepper (115 g), since whole corns pack more tightly than fluffy ground powder. Use the peppercorns converter for a pepper mill or a brine that calls for whole corns. See our Peppercorns converter.

Salt and pepper are the classic table pairing, the Salt-N-Pepa of the spice rack: rarely seen apart. Both are small-bulk seasonings measured by the teaspoon, though salt is denser at 300 g per cup against pepper's 115 g. See our Salt converter.
