About these units
Minim (US) (minim)
The US minim is defined as 1/60 of a US fluid dram, approximately 0.0616 mL. Similar to the UK minim, it originated in apothecary practice as a standardized alternative to the inconsistent "drop." Minims were used heavily in 18th–19th century American medicine for dosing tinctures, opiates, essential oils, and concentrated extracts. Although it has disappeared from modern pharmaceutical practice, the minim remains relevant for studying early American medical traditions and the evolution of clinical measurement.
Tablespoon (US) (tbsp)
The US tablespoon is defined as 14.7868 mL, though commonly rounded to 15 mL in nutritional labeling and informal cooking contexts. In American cooking, the tablespoon is indispensable for measuring oils, spices, and small liquid quantities. It is also widely used in medicine for dosing liquid medications at home, though modern practice increasingly recommends milliliters for clarity. Its relationship—3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon and 16 tablespoons = 1 cup—allows American cooks to scale recipes easily, making it a cornerstone unit of the US culinary measurement system.
