Liquids
Substances that self-level in the cup: milk, cream, yogurt, purees, semi-liquid pastes. Measurement noise is small because self-levelling removes the fill-method variable.
This is where the site’s fluid-ounce rejection pattern sits. King Arthur’s chart publishes 227 g per cup for many hydrated dairy products, which is the weight of eight avoirdupois ounces rather than a bench measurement of the substance. Where a source figure fails physics — a density lighter than water for something that must be denser than water — it is recorded with the rejection reason and USDA’s measurement is published instead. Held to 5% tolerance for sources that survive the physics check.

SwapGenie
Scan a grocery barcode, get a better version of the same thing.
I built SwapGenie for the problem this site cannot solve: the label. It reads a barcode, scores the product against your own allergens and diet rather than a generic grade, and suggests what to buy instead. Android now, iOS in progress.
SwapGenie is in closed testing, and the first 100 testers get 3 months of Pro free.
Used once, to send you the link and your code. Nothing else, ever. swapgenie.app
