Measuring 100g of Baking Soda / Sodium Bicarbonate in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of baking soda / sodium bicarbonate weighs 220g when measured dip and sweep, 100 Grams (100g) translates to 0.45 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ¾ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ¾ tsp (7.27 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Dip measuring spoon or cup into the container and scrape flush against the box edge. Sodium bicarbonate is a pure mineral salt that is noticeably denser than baking powder, weighing 220 grams per cup (14g per tablespoon, 4.6g per teaspoon).
