Calculating Yield Percentage
Yield percentage is also known as YP%. It’s the amount of usable food left divided by the original weight of the food when purchased. To find the YP%, it’s important to know which form or cooking method will give you a higher yield.
Yield Percentage Formula 1
Yield Percentage = EP/AP
AP - Original weight of food As Purchased
EP - Weight of food after removing waste, trimmings and bones
A 500g whole fish (AP) was trimmed. Trim and waste was a total of 100g. You have 400g of fish fillet left for serving as an Edible Portion (EP). This means that 80% of the original weight can be served to diners. A higher YP% is better because less food is wasted.
