things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of raisins?
  About 3 g — four to five Thompson raisins, give or take. Heaping a teaspoon doesn't change much because raisins don't mound the way powders do; they sit in a single layer once the spoon fills. If you need more than a teaspoon's worth, it's faster to switch to a tablespoon than to count out individual raisins.
• Is a teaspoon enough raisins for ants on a log?
  For one celery stick, yes. Five or six raisins pressed into a stripe of peanut butter is the canonical ants-on-a-log, and that's almost exactly a teaspoon. Scaling up for a tray of eight celery sticks puts you at roughly 8 teaspoons, or just over 2 tablespoons (about 24 g) — easier to measure as 3 tablespoons and snack on the leftovers.
• Do recipes ever specify raisins by the teaspoon?
  Rarely in baking, but spice-blend and chutney recipes sometimes do — a teaspoon of finely chopped raisins folded into a curry paste, a small spice rub, or a single-serving granola bowl. At that scale, chopping the raisins matters more than the exact gram count, because whole raisins distribute unevenly through a small mixture while chopped ones disperse.
