Foods are sold in a variety of sizes and measurements, often not reflected in recipes. While looking on the Net for some conversion tables to help with a recipe I was preparing, I came across this great list of food measurement equivalents. The list was prepared by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EatingWell.com<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healthline.com<\/a>. Both EatingWell.com and Healthline.com have a lot of great content on their sites that I&#8217;ll be reviewing.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the list, I know I&#8217;ll be referring to it many times over. As time permits, I&#8217;ll also start linking the foods listed to Wikipedia articles and other related content. Another thing on my To Do List is to create a conversion calculator for this list (i.e. cups to tablespoons, teaspoons, etc).
