Dry matter and ash: Snyder opens with the apparatus for measuring what food actually is. Human Foods and Their Nutritive Value teaches the general composition of foods first, then works through the foods themselves, a college text from nutrition science's first generation. Laboratory rigor applied to the dinner plate. Weigh your diet the scientific way.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
