                                A standard block of butter is 250 grams, a weight that is compact and dense, yet the same weight in raw spinach would fill a very large bowl, illustrating how 250 grams can appear dramatically different depending on the food's density. This variability is a key concept for anyone looking to master cooking measurements or better manage portion sizes.
