Brand Variance Example
Baseline on this page: 1 cup mashed banana = 227g. Real-world range can shift by about 7% because water content and texture vary by ripeness, processing, and brand.
Example for 2 cups: baseline 454g, common range 422g-486g. If your bake is texture-sensitive, start with the lower bound and adjust after a test batch.
