Fine dice意思

"Fine dice" is a term used in cooking and food preparation to describe a specific size and shape of chopped food, typically vegetables or fruits. It refers to pieces that are uniform in size and shape, with each piece being a small cube. The term "fine dice" implies that the cubes are very small, almost like a brunoise cut but not quite as fine.

Here's a breakdown of common dice sizes:

• Coarse dice: 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)
• Medium dice: 1/4 inch (0.64 cm)
• Fine dice: 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) or smaller

When a recipe calls for fine dice, it's important to achieve a consistent size so that the food cooks evenly and looks appealing when presented. Fine dice are often used in dishes where the texture and appearance of the chopped ingredients are important, such as in salads, garnishes, or sautéed vegetables.
