things people ask

• How many raisins are in a tablespoon?
  About 12-15 standard Thompson raisins, weighing roughly 9 g together. Larger flame raisins or jumbo goldens run 8-10 per tablespoon. For recipes that call for a tablespoon as a finishing touch — Moroccan couscous, curried chicken salad, a Waldorf-style slaw — counting raisins is fussier than just spooning them in and shaking the spoon level against the jar rim.
• Is a tablespoon of raisins enough for a single serving of oatmeal?
  For most people, yes. One tablespoon (9 g) gives a bowl of oatmeal a noticeable sweet-chewy presence without turning it into raisin pudding. Stirred in during the last minute of cooking, the raisins plump in the residual steam. If you like a sweeter bowl, two tablespoons (about 18 g) is the upper end before the oats start tasting like dessert.
• How does a snack-size raisin box compare to tablespoons?
  The classic 1.5 oz mini box holds roughly 40 g of raisins, which works out to about a quarter cup or 4-5 tablespoons. School-lunch packs at 0.5 oz hold about 14 g, or one and a half tablespoons. Useful when a recipe calls for 'one small box' and you want to translate that into a measurable amount.
