FAQ
- Is fresh-cut Parmesan cheese, shredded more accurate than pre-chopped packages?
- Fresh-cut has tighter piece size and less surface moisture loss, so the table values match reality more closely. Pre-chopped may have 10–15 % weight drift.
- Does Parmesan cheese, shredded 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.
