Scale a spice blend to a target weight and check the proportions.
Working in parts makes a blend scalable to any quantity, and converting to weight requires only the total. Weight rather than volume is essential because ground spices differ greatly in density. Measuring spices by volume introduces large errors between whole and ground forms, which is why commercial blends are always specified by weight.
Spice Blend Ratio
Grams per part = target weight ÷ total parts; each spice = its parts × grams per part
