To make healthy cooking easier, follow these simple tips to measure your ingredients:

1. Standard Measurement Units:

   • Use grams (g) for dry ingredients like flour.
   • Use milliliters (ml) for liquids like water.
   • For example:
     • 1 cup of flour is about 120g.
     • 1 cup of water is about 240ml.

2. Ratios:

   • Healthy recipes often use balanced ratios.
   • For example, a 2:1 ratio means you should have twice as many vegetables as grains.
   • This helps make your meals nutritious.

3. Calculating Ratios:

   • If you use 200g of grains, you should use 400g of vegetables.
   • You get this by multiplying: 200g grains × 2 (for the vegetables) = 400g of vegetables.

4. Percentage of Nutrients:

   • Try to include at least 50% of your dish as vegetables.
   • This fits well with health guidelines.

By following these easy measuring tips, you'll find that cooking at home can be healthy and accurate!
