In a list of ingredients you'd have something like the following :

5 grams of flour

 

2 cups of lemon juice

 

10 slices of meat

What word would you use to describe 'grams', 'cups' and 'slices' in the previous examples?

My thoughts:

Unit

This works well for grams and fluid oz but doesn't seem right when describing something like cups, slices or bunches although that might just be me.

Measure (n)

Measure to me sounded unique enough but can get confused with the verb form as well as a measure used in cocktail making.

Measurement

This seemed more appropriate for something that you'd measured, the thing that you measured is a measurement.
