  1. Kaufland (Scroll down to the food icons and click on those.)

  2. myTime.de. (Scroll down to the food icons and click on those..)

Note that weights are marked in kilos (Kilogramm, abbreviated kg) and in hundred-gram (Gramm, abbreviated g) increments. Other quantities include "Stück" (literally "piece", so it would be "each"), "Dose" (can), "Glas" (jar), "Beutel" (bag), or "Schachtel" (box), among others. Liquids are measured in liters and milliliters (Liter und Milliliter, abbreviated l and ml). See the Seite 5.

Instructions:
