minus-squareusualsuspect191@lemmy.caOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·edit-211 hours agoSure, but this stuff is like triple the density of oil if 4 tsp is 60g
minus-squarepotate@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up15·5 hours ago60g of oil is 540 kcal-ish. The chili pepper is comparatively calorie free, so yea, 440kcal makes total sense. Is it the tsp that’s throwing you off? I think there’s a typo - 4 tbsp would be about 60g. 4tsp I would expect to be about 20g. I way prefer dealing in mass for cooking and baking personally…

minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·9 hours agoProbably an error and they accidentally calculated for 4 tablespoons instead of 4 teaspoons.
