Edible portion refers to the amount that can actually be eaten, after trimming and cooking. For example, 1 pound of raw ground beef will not give you one pound of cooked ground beef; some of that weight will be lost in the cooking process as moisture and fat cook out. 1 pound (16 oz) of raw ground beef will yield about 13 oz of cooked ground beef.
It depends on the food.
Cost per pound divided by edible portion in percent = cost per pound of edible portion example: a crown roast cost $9 per pound, the edible portion is 60%. $9/.60 = $15 per edible pound
