A memo from my eyeballs:
For ingredients: Using Noticeably SMALLER black font on medium green: Not a good choice for readability. And worse when critical amounts (say spices) get that fancy one-character printer’s font thing for “1/2” or “2/3rds”.
The Amounts and Names of ingredients are what’s important – and not some fancy trendy “style sheet”.
Thanks!
Totally agree with Alan. I have mismeasured a few times because I couldn’t read the numbers.
Could you give us more info on the amount of sweet potatoes to use? A weight would be very helpful. Thanks!
I live in Australia – we use grams – we used to use oz – but to convert oz to grams is as easy as going to Google and writing “oz to grams” or eg. gallons to litres, or USD to AUD, etc etc. So many areas Google can help.
Also like to get an idea about the sweet potatoes weight AND 1 14 -oz in Gram
