![]() | Hi, Smart2Save. Julie is correct about the volume – 1 cup is 240 ml. In contrast, 240 g is a weight unit, which can vary in size, especially for vegetables. |
![]() | Start2Save – I believe 240ml is the size of the cup, not how much to weigh out. So you would find a cup that holds as close to 240ml of water as possible (I measure to the top of the cup so a pint glass would be too big), then use that cup to measure your vegetables by just filling up the cup with the chosen veg. I am just beginning to get my head round cups too. I have always used a set of scales. |
![]() | Is 240ml the same as 240g – it’s loads |
![]() | Hi, csheehanw199. A vegetable serving size is 1 cup (240 ml). They do not need to be “free” just “limited” (as opposed to starchy, which are in the Carbohydrates category). The free ones are extra, to encourage you to get as many vegetables as you can handle 🙂 |
