✅ Why This Tool Matters

Different ingredients have different densities. That means the same weight of each ingredient takes up a different volume. For example:

• 1 tablespoon of salt is heavier than 1 tablespoon of flour
• 1 tablespoon of honey weighs more than 1 tablespoon of sugar

Traditional "one-size-fits-all" converters don’t account for this. Our calculator does. It's especially helpful for:

• International recipes with metric measurements
• Bakers who need precise conversions
• Diet-conscious individuals tracking ingredient intake
• Meal preppers adjusting batch sizes
