Spice measure
The spice measure (often abbreviated as kryddmått in Scandinavian culinary contexts) is a small metric unit of volume equal to exactly 1 milliliter, or 1/1000 of a liter. Equivalent to one-fifth of a metric teaspoon, it was formalized alongside standard Scandinavian kitchen measuring sets to ensure accurate dosing of potent spices, baking powder, and concentrated flavorings. It provides a precise decimal submultiple in culinary measurements.
