Rounding rules

• rounding of ingredients in expanded recipe should only happen once the calculations are completed

• use common sense

• no decimals below a L or kg

Dried spices

• convert to recipe amount

• calculate the density of the ingredient using d = m/v

• multiply the density by the ingredient recipe amount to get the AP exact metric

NAF

• EP (rounded) / 100g or 100 mL
