Scaled blend
Cumin 200g, Coriander 133g, Paprika 133g. Total: 466g (scale up 3:2:2 to 250g batch).
How the Spice Blend Ratio Calculator works
- Enter the blend as ratio parts rather than measurements, which makes it scale to any size.
- Set the target batch weight.
- Weigh rather than measure by volume where you can — ground spices differ enough in density that a teaspoon of one is not a teaspoon of another by weight.
The method
Ratios scale linearly, so each component is its share of the total parts.
component weight = (parts / total parts) x batch weight
Volume to weight conversion is spice-specific: a tablespoon of ground cinnamon and a tablespoon of coarse salt differ by a factor of several in weight.
FAQ
Why weigh rather than measure spices?
Because bulk density varies enormously. A teaspoon of paprika and a teaspoon of salt weigh very different amounts, so a volume-based blend scaled up drifts from the original proportions.
Can I scale a recipe blend indefinitely?
The ratios scale, but strong components sometimes do not scale linearly in perception. Chilli and clove in particular can dominate a large batch at a ratio that was balanced in a small one.
How long does a blend keep?
Ground spices lose aroma within months. Blending in smaller batches more often gives noticeably better results than one large batch that sits for a year, whatever the ratios.
