Measuring volume with spoons can be considered an accurate method; it is used in preparing food and drinks. You can measure bulk products and liquids with a spoon. This method is also suitable for measuring honey. Let's consider how many grams of honey are in a tablespoon, how many in a teaspoon, and how to weigh the product without scales. How to measure in milliliters with spoons.
How many grams of honey in a spoon
It must be said that the mass of the product depends on many factors: age, variety, temperature, density.The difference is explained by the amount of moisture contained. For example, nectar collected in a hot, dry summer will have a moisture content of 13-14%. Collected in rainy weather - up to 25%. The weight of the product is affected by consistency. Crystallized will have less mass than viscous and thick.
In the teahouse
A standard teapot holds 7 g of honey. More for dessert – 10 g.
In the dining room
The weight of liquid honey in a standard spoon is 21 g. Thick, with a heap, will depend on how exactly this heap is collected. On average, this value is 30 g.
How to weigh honey without scales in grams with spoons
It is best, of course, to use a kitchen scale, but you don’t always have them on hand. Spoons will help determine the approximate amount of the required product. When measuring, you need to take into account that the container also has its own weight; a certain amount of liquid remains on the surface of the spoons, especially something as thick as honey. Therefore, you need to take it with a reserve. A thick product weighs more, which also needs to be taken into account.
How to measure the required number of grams? If, for example, you need to take 30 grams, then you can take 1.5 tbsp. l. liquid and 1 thick honey. 40 grams – 2 tbsp. l. liquid, 50 grams - 2.5 spoons, 80 grams - 4 spoons, 100 grams - 5 tbsp. l., 150 grams – 5 tbsp. l. thick honey, 300 grams - 10 spoons.
How to measure honey in milliliters with spoons
Here you just need to subtract everything in reverse. If there is 1 tbsp. l. fresh product, then this is 20 g. During cooking, it is easy to measure the required amount.In the process of measuring, you need to remember what daily amount of sweetness is acceptable for an adult and a child.
Not exceeding the norm will help avoid troubles such as allergies.
Features of measurements
It is beneficial to replace sugar with honey not only in drinks, but also in baked goods and other foods, raw or processed. When measuring the product with a spoon, you need to remember that this weight is not a constant value. The indicator may change, changing along with the volume of moisture in the composition, the state of mass and density. For example, liquid honey is inferior to candied honey. An unripe bee product or one collected in the rain contains a lot of moisture. It also depends on the variety - May or collected by bees from acacia, easier from forbs or buckwheat.
It has been established that 1 liter of good natural, matured and properly collected honey weighs one and a half times more than 1 liter of water. Therefore, a container of the same size will weigh more. The mass is influenced by density, that is, consistency, whether the composition contains natural or artificial impurities, when and under what conditions the collection took place.
Useful properties of honey
Honey is an excellent nutrient that normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, equalizes the balance of microflora, and prevents dysbacteriosis. It is an excellent, mild pain reliever that can even heal wounds. It can be used as a disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, and applied as a compress for eye diseases. It also treats the nervous system, anemia, and improves blood composition.
Honey is recommended for recovery from illness, weak immunity, hepatitis, cholecystitis, pneumonia and other diseases of various organs and systems. It is especially effective for sore throat if a person coughs. It has almost no contraindications, except for allergies and a tendency to be overweight.If you have an allergy, you shouldn’t eat it; even that same teaspoon of everyone’s favorite sweet can lead to a worsening of the condition.
The volume can be measured most accurately using special instruments or measuring cups with a scale. But, if they are not there, you can use what you have at hand - a spoon. The measurements will be quite accurate, quite sufficient for the kitchen. Spoons are used to measure important ingredients such as sugar or salt. Every housewife knows about this. If you need to measure a larger volume, it is better to use a glass. A spoon is an alternative to measuring instruments. Knowing how many grams are in it, you can measure any ingredients.
Remembering how many spoons you need is easy. Home measurements will be useful for those who monitor their health and love to prepare tasty and healthy food, in the preparation of which it is important to adhere to proportions.
