Convert Cups to Grams: Ground Nutmeg
Convert cups of ground nutmeg to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of ground nutmeg = 112g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because ground nutmeg density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Ground nutmeg: 1 teaspoon = 2.3g. Whole nutmeg freshly grated weighs slightly more per teaspoon. Nutmeg is potent — recipes typically call for 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Store in airtight container away from heat.
About Ground Nutmeg Density
The density of ground nutmeg determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.467g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of ground nutmeg weighs 112g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
