Well, remember they are pitting ounces of dried, seeded tepin
vs ounces of fresh pods (in most cases). With fresh habs coming
in over an ounce each that's hundreds of their favorite vs part of
anything else. Also, which part, stem or tip, including the ribs or
not? It makes a big difference. And when they tested the tepins
did they really make up 234.375 - 390.625 gallons of salsa?
