Cup (US Legal): in the U.S. legal system, the cup is defined as a unit of volume specifically for standardizing measurements in nutrition labeling and regulatory contexts. It differs slightly from the traditional U.S. customary cup used in everyday cooking and is equal to 240 milliliters.
The U.S. legal cup is often simply referred to as "cup" in nutrition labels, with no special abbreviation. Teaspoon (Metric): in the metric system, the teaspoon is not a standardized unit of volume. The metric system primarily uses the liter and its subunits, such as milliliters, for measuring volume. However, in culinary contexts, especially in recipes, people might refer to a "teaspoon" for convenience, as 1 metric teaspoon is often considered to be roughly equivalent to 5 milliliters.
