Notes:
- Ginger yields 70% when peeled
- Measurements are based on fresh herbs of normal commercial size and quality
- Leaves for garnish are large and attractive
- Stemless leaf yield includes the garnish leaves plus remaining good leaves
- Leaves were stripped from stems before chopping
- Chopped leaves were cut "chiffonade" then cross-cut and chopped a bit more
- Volume measures of chopped leaves were tapped down but not pressed down hard
- The "Yield: Tbs. of Chopped Leaf per Purchased Ounce" column was obtained by physically measuring (in cups) the total yield of the purchased amount after stemming and chopping, then multiplying that amount by 16 and dividing the answer by the ounces purchased
