A Kryddmått (krm) is a Swedish unit of volume equal to 1 milliliter (ml).
It's a common measurement in Scandinavian recipes, especially for small, potent ingredients where accuracy is essential. The plural form is also Kryddmått.
The term "Kryddmått" is Swedish and directly translates to "spice measure."
This name perfectly reflects its primary purpose in Scandinavian kitchens: accurately measuring small quantities of ingredients.
This includes potent ingredients like cardamom and nutmeg, as well as leavening agents like baking powder, where precision is key.
While a Kryddmått is standardized as exactly 1 ml, it's helpful to see how it compares to other common kitchen measurements.
Here are the most valuable conversions:
This means if a recipe calls for one krm and you don't have the specific spoon, you can use 1/5 of a standard 5 ml teaspoon.
The Kryddmått isn't just a theoretical unit — it's also a tiny measuring spoon.
In standard Scandinavian spoon sets, it's the smallest, usually marked "1 krm."
Those sets typically include a tablespoon (15 ml), a teaspoon (5 ml), and the Kryddmått (1 ml). This little spice spoon is essential for anyone cooking authentic Scandinavian recipes.
A liter (l) is a fundamental unit used to measure volume in the metric system.
In simple terms, it measures the amount of space a substance occupies, like the amount of soda in a bottle. The plural form is liters.
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 during the French Revolution.
It was created as part of a movement toward a more logical and universal system of measurement, which later evolved into the modern metric system.
Initially, the definition of a liter was based on the weight of one kilogram of pure water.
While the original definition was based on the mass of water, it was updated for greater precision and consistency.
Today, the official definition directly connects the liter to a unit of length, making it easier to understand.
So, how big is a liter?
A liter is officially defined as exactly one cubic decimeter (1 dm3).
This means a liter is the volume of a perfect cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long (10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm).
The difference between "liter" and "litre" is simply a regional spelling choice—the volume they represent is precisely the same!
Both spellings are correct, and the one you use depends on where you are.
