MyFitnessPal has the same issue where the quantity values mixed between different units, but also between volume(cup) vs weight(grams). So its a pain in the neck to know how heavy a cup of pasta is. I can see the same issue arising with this tool.

For a lot of the basics (flour, sugar, rice, etc.) conversion formulas/tables exist, but I've found that if you use recipes from around the globe, it's much easier to just have measuring utensils for cups/spoons (US cooking volume units) alongside the standard metric volume measures and scales in your kitchen.

  At least some of MFPs ("verified") raw ingredient don't seem to use those though. 100g of Avocados, for example, can easily have several thousands of kcal according to them.

A cup of pasta doesn't even compute, since the mass of the pasta will depend so much on the exact shape in question. You can't substitute a cup of dried tagliatelle (huge "balls of yarn") for a cup of risoni (rice-sized grains of pasta) and be happy after eating that meal. :)
