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.  

THANK YOU! This team is exceptional. I write to suppliers all day long asking for information and have done so for years throughout my career, but honestly One Source are the first people who have ever sent me a complete packet of information with all requested documents attached that are not only labeled clearly, but that are also dated within the last year.  Thank you so very much!  It’s the simple things that make our jobs easy, but it’s working with people like you that is truly a blessing!
