About
Ground nutmeg is an aromatic baking spice that weighs about 3.9 ounces (111 grams) per cup.
Ground nutmeg has a bulk density of roughly 29.3 pounds per cubic foot (0.47 grams per milliliter). A standard US cup holds about 3.9 ounces (111 grams) of the dried, powdered spice. It is much less dense than granulated white sugar, taking up nearly twice as much space for the same weight. Its light, powdery texture gives it a volume and weight profile very similar to ground cinnamon.
From Wikipedia
Nutmeg is the seed, or the ground spice derived from the seed, of several tree species of the genus Myristica; fragrant nutmeg or true nutmeg is a dark-leaved evergreen tree cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg, from its seed, and mace, from the seed covering. It is also a commercial source of nutmeg essential oil and nutmeg butter.
