things people ask

• How much is a teaspoon of celery in grams?
  Around 2.96 g for a fine dice that fits flush in the spoon. Loose chopping leaves air and brings it down to 2-2.5 g; very fine brunoise pressed in can reach 3.5 g. Since this is a garnish-scale measurement, the practical answer is just a small pinch — three or four 1/8-inch cubes.
• When does a recipe ever call for a teaspoon of celery?
  Mostly in plated, per-portion work: a teaspoon of brunoised celery on each oyster, a scatter across deviled eggs, the celery accent in a single-serve mignonette or cocktail sauce. It also shows up in salt-and-herb cures where celery is one of several aromatics measured in small spoonfuls so the ratio stays precise across batches.
• How fine should I dice celery for a teaspoon measurement?
  Brunoise — 1/8-inch cubes — so the celery sits in the spoon without crowding and distributes evenly across whatever you're topping. A coarser chop won't fit a teaspoon cleanly and reads as a chunk rather than a seasoning. Trim the stringy outer fibers from the stalk first, since they get tough and noticeable at this small scale.
