things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of crushed pineapple?
  About 16 g for drained crushed pineapple, level. Undrained, you'll pick up 3-5 g of juice on top. For glazes brushed onto ham or pork, the juice matters — many glaze recipes call for crushed pineapple specifically because the small bits cling to the meat while the syrup self-bastes during the bake.
• How much pineapple goes into a piña colada?
  Most piña colada recipes call for 2-3 tablespoons of pineapple chunks (32-48 g) blended with rum, coconut cream, and ice. A single tablespoon as a garnish wedge is closer to a visual accent than a flavor base. If you're using pineapple juice instead of fresh, swap each tablespoon of fruit for about 1 tablespoon of juice.
• Does a tablespoon of pineapple work in curry?
  Yes — Thai and Malaysian curries often finish with 1-2 tablespoons of diced pineapple per serving for sweetness and acid. Add it in the last minute of cooking so the fruit holds its shape and the bromelain doesn't break down the protein in shrimp or chicken. Canned is common here because it's softer and sweeter than out-of-season fresh.
