Originally Answered: how much pepper is in a pinch? A pinch of an ingredient (usually a powdery or finely ground substance like salt , spices, or dried herbs) is the tiny bit your pick up between the tip of your index finger and thumb. If you were to measure a pinch, it would be between 1/16 and 1/8 of a teaspoon.

If you want to get very technical and scientific, a pinch is generally defined as 1/16 teaspoon. While there’s some debate about this, The New Food Lover’s Companion considers a pinch to be 1/16 tsp, while a dash is “somewhere between 1/16 and a scant 1/8 teaspoon.” Not all cookbooks agree. So there’s your answer.

Well, Mental Floss breaks it all down for you, figuring out just how much a dash, pinch, smidgen, or drop is. According to kitchen supplies makers, a dash of salt is specifically 1/8 of a teaspoon, while a pinch is exaclty 1/2 a dash (1/16 teaspoon) and a smidgen is half that (1/32 teaspoon).

It is the “amount that can be taken between the thumb and forefinger”. Some manufacturers of measuring spoons and some U.S. cookbooks give more precise equivalents, typically 1⁄8, 1⁄16, or even 1⁄24 teaspoon, but there is no generally accepted standard.
