How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Butternut squash uses a 1 kg central value within a recorded range of 600 g–1.5 kg.
  • Butternut squash is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
