Blend scaler

Pick a blend, pick whose version you want, and set a batch size. Proportions are by weight, because measuring a blend by spoon gives a different mix — the spices differ in density.

Answer

50 g of khmeli suneli from 8 ingredients

Based on the full household blend, attributed to common georgian household composition.

What you asked

Blend:
Khmeli suneli
Version:
Full household blend — Common Georgian household composition
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 + Blue fenugreek 2 + Summer savory 2 + Dried marigold 2 + Dried basil 1 + Dried dill 1 + Bay leaf 0.25–0.5 + Dried mint 0.5–1

    = 13.1 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 ÷ 13.1 parts

    = 3.81 g per part

  3. 3. Multiply each ingredient by its parts

    = 8 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 "Full household blend" version, attributed to Common Georgian household composition.
  • Those proportions are recorded as representative.

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.
  • This is one of 2 versions recorded for Khmeli suneli. It is not the definitive one — there isn't one.
