Notes:

Asparagus: Whole asparagus items show the yield after "culling" (discarding unservable stalks) but before trimming off the stalk ends. Trimming the end yields about 63% of the whole asparagus. So, trimmed asparagus item yields reflect both the culling and stalk-end trimming, whereas the "whole" asparagus item yields reflect just that amount remaining after culling, but not trimming.
Beans, Green: Green beans are the Blue Lake variety. There are 66 each 4-6 inch beans per pound, AP. Strings and trim: 12%.
Carrots: Breakdowns of carrots: diced, grated, and so on are based on medium "table"-size carrots.
Cucumber: Ends are trimmed to obtain the yield percentage.
Lettuce, Bibb, Leaves: All lettuce leaf values are large leaves, exclusive of heart leaves.
Onion, Pearl: There are about 30 trimmed, peeled pearl onions per pint, and a pint of cleaned pearl onions weighs 9 ounces.
Peppers: Brunoise: interior membrane of peppers have been sliced off as part of the cutting.
Potato: Russet, peeled and eyed.
Tomatoes, Roma: Trim is from removing the ends.
