Oregano (dried)
Dried oregano weighs only 28g per cup because the leaves are light and airy. One teaspoon of dried oregano equals about one tablespoon of fresh. Mediterranean oregano has a milder, more herbal flavor; Mexican oregano is citrusy and pairs better with chili and cumin. Crush dried oregano between your palms before adding to release the essential oils. Store in a sealed container away from light and replace after a year.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
