Hello, first of all I've been reading this website for around 4 years but today I decided to sign up as I have a question.

I bought Astragalus root powder but how do I measure 30 g from it? I bought a small weight for this but it seems to not be able to measure powders. I read that it's possible to measure in tablespoons, so can anyone give me some advice on this? Thank you very much.

That's really rude and weird, I had nothing to contribute I was merely learning.

That's strange. Have all kind of scales and they all do weight powders. Just tried and a tablespoon with fine powder Astragalus flattened weights about 4-5 grams.

It's alright to put it on the weight along with the spoon?

Nowadays digitals weights all come with a reset to exclude the weight of the measuring container, like a spoon. Of course you could always subtract the weight of the spoon from the total weight.

I for one am sorry that you were subjected to that! Please do not be discouraged!

Thank you very much for the kind words!

I did the latter, I feel a little dumb for not thinking of that myself thank you.

I think... or  hope he's joking...

 

Anyways, what kind of scale are you using? What is it's range? Is it a gram scale? Do you have a model number? Lot's of good options for a new one.
