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.

  • One metric tablespoon of peppercorns weighs about 8.4 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 8.3 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 11.2 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Peppercorns are the whole, dried berries that get ground into everyday pepper, so a jar of them outlasts the fading aroma of pre-ground pepper. One metric cup (250 ml) of whole peppercorns weighs about 140 grams or 4.94 ounces, heavier than the same cup of ground pepper's 115 grams: grinding fluffs the powder with trapped air, while smooth round peppercorns settle and pack tightly. Most recipes call for a pepper mill grind by the teaspoon or pinch rather than a measured cup.

Freshly cracked peppercorns taste sharper than pre-ground pepper since the oils haven't oxidised yet, so weight matters when a recipe expects a specific grind. Measuring by weight keeps spice blends consistent even as your pepper mill's grind size varies.

Ground pepper is the more concentrated, ready-to-use form: 115 g per cup against whole peppercorns' 140 g, since grinding traps more air in the fine powder.
