A cube shape with dimensions 1/8 inch x 1/8 inch x 1/8 inch yields which cut?

• A. Diagonal
• B. Rondelle
• C. Brunoise
• D. Chiffonade

Answer: (C)

Brunoise is the fine dice cut, turning vegetables into tiny uniform cubes. A cube measuring 1/8 inch on each side fits this definition exactly, since all three dimensions are equal and in the small cube size. To get there, you typically slice into uniform batons (julienne) and then dice them into 1/8-inch cubes. The other options describe different shapes or directions: a diagonal cut changes the angle of the slice, rondelle yields round disks, and chiffonnade produces thin ribbons from leafy greens.
