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.
