Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Yields Accuracy in Food Costing and Purchasing, Seventh Edition is a comprehensive collection of accurate food measurements: weight–to–volume equivalents, trim yields, and cooking yields for over 900 practical foods. Including only scratch items, the foods are categorized by type: dry or fresh herbs, vegetables, fruit, flours, rices, meats, poultry, etc. The measures used for each type of food reflect the ways that that particular type of food is normally measured in recipes. Produce items state the trim yields as both a weight and a percentage of the original weight plus they state how many cups of a trimmed and cut fruit or vegetable are obtained from the original weight and what one cup, trimmed weighs.
