Units and measurements

Using standard units helps Zavora understand your ingredients and keeps recipes easier to follow.

Common units that work well

• Weight: g, kg
• Volume: ml, l
• Cooking measures: tsp, tbsp, cup
• Count: 1, 2, 3 (e.g., 2 eggs)

Tips

• Pick a “default style” and stick to it (metric or cups/spoons).
• For fractions, use common forms:
  • 1/2, 1/4, 3/4

If you’re in Chile/LatAm (practical note)

Metric measurements (g, ml) usually stay the clearest across recipes.
