    I wish you would give the amount of ingredients in ENGLISH – ( 2 cups, 1/2 Tablespoon, etc.) We don’t use GRAMS in our ingredients and it is very confusing!

      Grams *is* English! In terms of fiber content, carbs et cetera, nutritional labels all use grams now. As for the weights? go get a kitchen scale. Or tack up a conversion chart (grams/ounces) on the inside of your pantry door. You will SOON GET the hang of it!!! Measurements in grams (Weight), rather than cups (Volume), is a far more accurate way to cook anyway. USA, Liberia and Burma are *only* countries who don’t use metric weights. OUCH! Be part of the change to bring the USA up to standard. It’s a simple system to learn. Your kids, and grandkids will thank you!
