As a German based Food Company, we at FitTasteTic are used to measuring all our ingredients by their weight in grams.

That’s why we decided to only use Grams and Ounces for all our Recipes.
Simplifying the Cup to Gram conversion process.
As we know that most of the English-speaking Countries, including America, UK and Australia, are used to measure Ingredients with Cups.

The accuracy of measuring out ingredients by cups isn’t exactly the same as measuring out quantities by weight. When you are attempting to convert ingredients into other forms, be sure to take into account the accuracy of measuring out ingredients by weight. If you do not have the right size cup, you can’t measure the amount of the ingredients you are trying to convert into ounces or grams. That being said we always suggest you to buy a scale in the long run to ensure all recipes your cooking are working out.
