things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of chopped dried figs?
  About 3.10 g, assuming you've chopped the figs fine enough to actually fit a teaspoon — anything coarser than pea-size won't level. At this measurement, you're typically working on a per-serving basis: a teaspoon scattered over a slice of toast with goat cheese, or stirred into a single bowl of oatmeal.
• When would a recipe call for figs by the teaspoon?
  Spice cookies, individual cheesecake toppings, single-cup overnight oats, or scaled-down fig-honey compotes for one or two cheese plates. Teaspoon-scale fig measurements also show up in cocktail recipes — a fig-and-bourbon old-fashioned might call for a teaspoon of macerated chopped fig at the bottom of the glass instead of a sugar cube.
• Can I use fig paste instead of chopped figs by the teaspoon?
  Yes, but adjust by weight, not volume. Fig paste is denser — a teaspoon runs 6-7 g versus 3.10 g for chopped dried — so substituting teaspoon-for-teaspoon roughly doubles the fruit content. For a recipe that calls for 1 teaspoon chopped figs, use a scant half-teaspoon of paste, or weigh out 3 g.
