Ingredient weight reference

How much one cup of each ingredient weighs in grams, with the common spoon measures worked out from it. These are the figures the converter above uses. Dry ingredients are assumed spooned into the cup and levelled off, not scooped and packed — scooping can add a fifth again to the weight of flour.
