Have you ever tried to follow a recipe that calls for milliliters when your scale only measures in milligrams? Frustrating, right? You’re not alone. This question comes up a lot when measuring ingredients for cooking, baking, or even health recipes.
The tricky part? Milliliters (mL) measure volume, while milligrams (mg) measure mass. They’re different units, like apples and oranges, so you can’t convert directly without a little extra info. But don’t worry, we’ll break it down simply, so you can measure with confidence for your next culinary adventure.
In this guide, we’ll explain why mg/ml don’t directly convert, how to use a key scientific concept to bridge the gap, and share easy steps to get accurate measurements. Let’s dive in.
