Recipe I intend to cook says '1/2 cup of fresh Sage, finely chopped'
So is that 1/2 a cup before or after chopping? as it could make a big difference. Take something like parsley for example which is springy and takes up a lot of room when not cut; the same recipe says '1/2 cup minced fresh parsley' - the word order leads me to think that it's 1/2 a cup after it's been chopped.
