Number of Vegetable
Servings Varies
The number of servings
you get with vegetables
vanes widely with the kind
of vegetable and whether it
is fresh, frozen, canned or
dned. Extension consumer
specialists at The Penn
sylvania State University
say the yield from a pound of
fresh vegetables varies from
two to six servings of cooked
food. Frozen vegetables
usually don’t lose much
weight of volume during
preparation. Some loss of
volume does occur with
canned vegetables if the
liquid is drained from the
vegetables or if the liquid is
concentrated during
cooking. From a 16-ounce
can of most vegetables you
can expect three or four
servings of drained
vegetables and two or three
servings of canned greens.
Dned vegetables mcrease
considerably in weight and
volume during cooking
because they absorb water.
