Spice Blend Ratio Calculator
Enter the parts of three spices in your blend and the total weight you want — each spice is scaled to keep the same balance.
Formula
Each spice = total weight x (its parts / total parts).
How it works
Blends are easiest to describe in parts, not grams: 3-2-1 is easy to remember and scales to any jar size.
Toast whole spices and grind them fresh when you can — a blend made today smells far stronger than one bought months ago.
FAQs
What does 'parts' mean?
Any consistent unit: parts could be teaspoons, tablespoons or grams. Only the ratios between them matter.
Can I swap a spice in the blend?
Yes, swap it in the same number of parts. The balance stays similar even if the flavour changes.
How long does a homemade blend keep?
About 3–6 months in a sealed jar away from heat and light, before the aroma fades noticeably.
