About
Ground ginger is a powdered culinary spice that weighs about 3.4 ounces (95 g) per US cup.
Ground ginger has a bulk density of about 3.35 ounces per US cup (0.4 g/mL), meaning it traps air between its small particles. A standard US cup holds roughly 3.4 ounces (95 g) of the dried, powdered rhizome. Granulated sugar weighs more than twice as much for the exact same volume. This low density gives ground ginger a loose, powdery feel in measuring spoons and spice jars.
From Wikipedia
Ginger is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root or ginger, is widely used as a spice and a folk medicine. It is an herbaceous perennial that grows annual pseudostems about one meter tall, bearing narrow leaf blades.
