Use household items to measure 50g. A tablespoon of water weighs about 14g, so use 3.5 tablespoons. Alternatively, estimate using comparisons: 50g of flour or sugar is roughly 1/3 of a cup. Use the packaging for familiar items like rice or pasta, as many provide weight information per serving. Another method is to use coins; for example, ten 1-cent coins weigh around 40g, helping you estimate with other items. Experiment and adjust based on the density of the ingredient you're measuring.
