Sugars and salts
Granular crystalline solids that pack consistently by scoop: granulated sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, table salt, kosher salt. Salt sits here rather than with liquids because a cup of salt behaves like a cup of sugar — the crystals pack the same way.
Held to 5% tolerance. Two sources measuring the same crystal at the same fill method should agree closely. Where they do not, the entry either splits by brand (Diamond Crystal and Morton kosher salts have genuinely different crystal geometries and pack at half the density of one another) or publishes the range.
