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.
| Ingredient | Weight | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Ground white rock salt, not iodised | 28.8 g | 58% |
| Garlic(range) | 7.2 g | 14% |
| Dried coriander seed(range) | 3.6 g | 7% |
| Hot red pepper(range) | 3.6 g | 7% |
| Blue fenugreek (utskho suneli)(range) | 3.6 g | 7% |
| Gitsruli, or cumin in its place(range) | 2.2 g | 4% |
| Marigold (qviteli qvavili, yellow flower)(range) | 1.0 g | 2% |

What you asked
- Blend:
- Svan salt
- Version:
- Svanuri marili as registered in Georgia — The specification of the geographical indication Svanuri Marili, no. 30 in the register of Georgia’s National Intellectual Property Center
- 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. Add up the parts
Ground white rock salt, not iodised 1000 + Garlic 200–300 + Dried coriander seed 100–150 + Hot red pepper 100–150 + Blue fenugreek (utskho suneli) 100–150 + Gitsruli, or cumin in its place 50–100 + Marigold (qviteli qvavili, yellow flower) 20–50
= 1735 parts
Ingredients given as a range use the typical value, or the midpoint where no typical value is recorded.
2. Work out the weight of one part
50 g ÷ 1735 parts
= 0.03 g per part
3. Multiply each ingredient by its parts
= 7 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 "Svanuri marili as registered in Georgia" version, attributed to The specification of the geographical indication Svanuri Marili, no. 30 in the register of Georgia’s National Intellectual Property Center.
- Those proportions are recorded as documented.
Where this stops being reliable
- 2 ingredients have no recorded proportion and are excluded from the arithmetic rather than being assigned a guessed amount.
- 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 3 versions recorded for Svan salt. It is not the definitive one — there isn't one.
