FAQ
- Does Basil, fresh, chopped lose weight sitting in the fridge?
- Yes — cell water evaporates slowly, especially on cut surfaces. Expect 1–3 % mass loss per day uncovered; store in a sealed container to keep the table values accurate.
- Does substituting fresh Basil, fresh, chopped for frozen change the gram reading?
- Yes — frozen pieces carry ice crystals that add 5–10 % to the cup reading. Drain thoroughly after thaw before weighing to match fresh values.
