Knowing the yield on whole fruit from AP (As Purchased) to EP (Edible Portion) can make a big difference in your food cost strategy. The table below gives common yields for fruits after normal prep of the product has been done, such as peeling and seeding in the case of apples, or simply removing the pit from a plum. If you have additional yield info for specific fruits then please leave a comment with detailed yield information and I’ll add it to this chart.

What is meant by “CT” in the list? It can’t mean “count” meaning “quantity”, or carat, or cuts, which would make no sense in the chat.
It does mean “count” like pineapple 12 count per case, or lemons 115 count per case. It actually indicates the average size.
