things people ask

• When would a recipe ever call for a teaspoon of fresh blueberries?
  Garnish work, mostly — one or two berries dropped onto a petit four, a canapé, or a cocktail. You'll also see teaspoon measures in baby food and first-foods recipes where portions are tiny and a teaspoon of mashed berry is a real serving. For cooking, most recipes jump to tablespoons once you need more than a couple of berries.
• How does a teaspoon of dried blueberries compare to fresh?
  Dried blueberries are denser by volume because the water is gone. A teaspoon of dried berries weighs around 4-5 g and packs the sugar and flavor of roughly two to three teaspoons of fresh fruit. If you're substituting dried for fresh in a scone or granola recipe, cut the volume by about a third or plan to soak the dried berries in warm water for ten minutes first.
• Is a teaspoon of blueberry jam the same weight as fresh berries?
  No — jam is much heavier per teaspoon, usually 6-7 g, because sugar and pectin replace the air gaps between whole berries. A teaspoon of jam also delivers far more sweetness than 3 g of fresh blueberries, so it's not a clean swap in things like yogurt or oatmeal toppings. Use about half the volume of jam if you're substituting for fresh in a sweetened context.
