ml to grams using density of food
There is no way I can measure the volume (ml) of ice cream or beans accurately so have been entering such things as grams (g) in a 1:1 ratio. This is quite incorrect.
There are a number of grams to milliliter converters on the Internet with a limited number of food items.
However, there is one source I found that seems more extensive: https://openknowledge.fao.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/67b2da8c-6f73-42ef-b1c7-6db92b2a8fc1/content
According to my calculations, Unico Bean medley converts to about 97.5 g per a 125 ml "serving" after draining excess water, or a density of 0.78 g/ml. The various beans listed in the above chart are listed at around this number.
Different variations of ice cream (being half air) are listed at around 0.54 to 0.62. When I get my new box of ice cream, I am going to measure the box size (should be 2 litre) and weight minus the box, to work out my own ratio.
Also, it would be really nice if I could then enter and keep the density stored in Cronometer for an automatic conversion thereafter.
FYI
Bob.

Canadian ice cream? I've heard of that measurement problem.
Get a cheap digital kitchen scale. If you're serious about measuring your foods, it makes everything easier.
