Rosemary (dried)
Dried rosemary weighs 32g per cup. The needles are quite hard and can be unpleasant to bite into, so crush or grind dried rosemary before adding to recipes. Use 1 teaspoon dried for every tablespoon of fresh rosemary. Its strong, piney flavor stands up to roasted meats, potatoes, and bread. Too much rosemary can make food taste medicinal. Store in a sealed container and replace after a year. Rosemary pairs well with garlic, lemon, and olive oil.

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.
