Blueberry yields 100%
You buy blueberry by its whole weight, but you only plate 100% of it. That 0% loss is real cost the invoice never shows — here's the math.
Yield is the fraction of an ingredient that actually reaches the plate after you clean, peel, and trim it. What you pay is the AP (as-purchased) price; what it costs on the plate is the EP (edible-portion) price.
Pit, skin, and stem are the loss. Ripe fruit yields more than under-ripe.
Say your invoice shows $5.00 per lb of blueberry (an example AP price).
At 100% yield, your real cost is $5.00 per lb EP — because $5.00 ÷ 1.00 = $5.00.
AP price is illustrative; the EP figure is computed (AP ÷ yield). Use your real invoice price below.Yield breakdown

Common questions
What is the yield of blueberry?
Blueberry typically yields 100% edible portion of its as-purchased weight, per the CIA Standard Yield Tables.
How much blueberry is lost to trim?
About 0% of the as-purchased weight is lost to cleaning, peeling, and trimming before it reaches the plate.
How do you calculate the edible-portion cost of blueberry?
Divide the as-purchased price by the yield: EP cost = AP price ÷ 1.00. At 100% yield, the trim makes your real plated cost meaningfully higher than the invoice price.
