things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of currants?
  About 2.96 g for a level teaspoon of dried Zante currants. That's roughly 20 currants — enough to dot the top of one scone or one slice of teacake before it goes into the oven. For recipes that distribute currants visually rather than by flavor weight, the teaspoon is the working unit.
• When would a recipe specify currants by the teaspoon?
  Single-serving and decorative uses: a teaspoon pressed into the top of a hot cross bun before the cross goes on, sprinkled into a child's portion of porridge, mixed into a teaspoon-scale spice blend for Moroccan tagines, or dotted onto shortbread before baking. Anything larger than a single portion usually scales up to tablespoons.
• Is a teaspoon of currants enough to flavor anything?
  Not on its own — 2.96 g of currants in a full bowl of muesli reads as occasional sweet bursts rather than a fruit note. For actual flavor in a single serving you want at least a tablespoon. The teaspoon measure is for garnish, for spice-and-fruit blends where currants are one of several small additions, or for scaling a recipe down to one portion.
