Blend scaler

What you asked

Blend:

Khmeli suneli

Version:

Export and Western retail — Typical composition of blends sold outside Georgia

Target batch:

50 g

How it was worked out

Each ingredient's parts are divided by the total parts to give its share of the mix, and that share is multiplied by the target batch weight. Scaling is linear, so the same shares apply at any batch size.

1. 1. Add up the parts

   Coriander seed 4 + Common fenugreek 1 + Summer savory 2 + Dried basil 2 + Dried parsley 1 + Turmeric 0.25–0.5

   = 10.4 parts

   Ingredients given as a range use the typical value, or the midpoint where no typical value is recorded.

2. 2. Work out the weight of one part

   50 g ÷ 10.4 parts

   = 4.82 g per part

3. 3. Multiply each ingredient by its parts

   = 6 ingredients scaled

What this assumes

• Proportions are by weight, not by volume. Measuring these by spoon would give a different mix, because the spices differ in density.
• Proportions come from the "Export and Western retail" version, attributed to Typical composition of blends sold outside Georgia.
• Those proportions are recorded as reconstructed.

Where this stops being reliable

• Some proportions are recorded as ranges. The scaled weights use the typical value and should be treated as a starting point.
• These proportions are reconstructed from ingredient declarations rather than a published formulation, and are recorded at low confidence.
• This is one of 2 versions recorded for Khmeli suneli. It is not the definitive one — there isn't one.
