What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 689,550 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 76 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 493,710 EXP, 28% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 308,380 EXP to 689,550 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 124%, so the wrong pick leaves 381,170 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 78 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 828,030 EXP per allowance, 20% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 74 rung behind tops out at 419,490 EXP.
At Lv 76 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 754,791 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,812,275 EXP, which puts this leve 9% below its own category's average.
Peppered Popotoes ×3 is a Lv 77 Culinarian recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 14 units of raw material and 34 crystals.
Handing that in returns 49,254 EXP and 246 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
