 Re: Measuring broccoli and cauliflower | |
I use a food scale. Much more accurate than measuring cups ever can or will be.
4oz is 4oz is 4oz, but the difference between what I can fit in a cup can vary widely.
Dr. Atkins recommended cups because he knew everyone had them and he wanted to keep it simple. It's an approximation and it works when you keep the cup loosely packed, but as you know, depending on how finely you cut up or chop veggies, the amounts in there can vary hugely. I use a scale and skip all the muss and fuss.
