For those wondering what difference a wash makes, here you go.

The AVB on the blue tray has been washed and is about to be dried.

In the second photo you can see the comparison between pre- and post-wash. The flash on my phone has made the washed stuff look really dark, but it's the same AVB that's in the other photo. Pre-wash it was around 104g. Post-wash and dry it's 76g.

It's going into coconut oil later on this evening - I'm literally just waiting for my slow cooker to come up to temperature.
