About these units
Teaspoon (Metric) (tsp (m))
The metric teaspoon is universally fixed at 5 mL, offering complete consistency across countries that use metric culinary measurements. This simplicity is a major advantage over historical teaspoon variations. In metric recipe writing—especially in Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe—teaspoons serve as standardized micro-measures that are easy to convert and scale. Its widespread adoption demonstrates the advantages of aligning traditional kitchen practices with the predictable structure of the metric system.
Cab (Biblical) (cab)
A cab is a small Biblical volume measure estimated at roughly 1 liter or slightly less. It was used for grains, spices, legumes, and other dry goods. The cab appears in scriptural narratives to represent modest quantities suitable for household use or famine conditions, making it a culturally meaningful indicator of scarcity or modest provision. Its place in the Hebrew hierarchy—1 cab = 1/6 of a seah (another unit not in your list)—shows how everyday domestic needs shaped measurement scales.
