Interesting fact

Why the Numbers Say Zero Water

USDA reports figures for named dry-bean classes on a 0% moisture basis — the bean with every trace of water mathematically removed — rather than as sold. It is a laboratory convention that lets beans grown in different places and seasons be compared directly; a bag on the shelf always holds some water, so real-world values per 100 g are lower.
