Tomato Tip

What is Drained Weight in diced tomatoes and why is it important? The drain weight is the weight of the tomato pieces after all liquid (tomato juice) has been drained.  It is typically represented as a net percent of the gross volume, but can also be listed as weight.  

If I had to choose one thing that was my favorite aspect of working with One Source Food Solutions, it would be professionalism. I love that from One Source; every email I have sent, or every question I have asked them, has been answered in a timely manner, even if I don’t like the answer to my question 🙂 Having a timely response means I know what the next step I need to take is.
