📊 Portion Size Guide (for 2 adults)

Butter: ~10g per fry-up → 500g block = 50 portions

Apple Cider Vinegar: ~30ml per shared salad → 750ml bottle = 25 portions

Coconut Oil: ~12g per fry-up → 400g tub = 33 portions

Olive Oil: ~15ml per salad dressing → 1000ml bottle = 66 portions

Lemon Juice: ~10ml splash per jug → 500ml bottle = 50 portions

Garlic Paste: ~5g per stir-fry → 200g jar = 40 portions

Date Syrup: ~20g drizzle per meal → 400g bottle = 20 portions
