HI Guys -

I was over at restaurant depot today and notice a bunch of different cuts of meats (from beef short ribs to chicken breast) would have something like "Chicken breast R/W". Was curious what does the R/W mean?

Thanks!

I see that on some sites (not in stores yet). No info from google but I'm guessing it might be "raw weight" ??
 
Could be raw weight or real weight. Most of the chickens we buy in retail stores can have as much as 10 percent of their chicken in a water/salt solution. That water weight is figured into the over all weight of the bird you are buying so it is not a true weight. Chances are the birds you looked at at restaurant depot were truly fresh with no added water weight.
