things people ask

• What does a teaspoon of raspberries look like?
  One whole berry sits comfortably in a teaspoon at about 2.5 g. Crushed, it's a small smear — enough to streak across a dessert plate or top a single petit four. Pastry chefs use teaspoon quantities when garnishing chocolate desserts, where a few drupelets add tartness and color without overwhelming the cocoa.
• Is a teaspoon of raspberry coulis the same as fresh?
  No. Coulis is concentrated through reduction and sweetening, so a teaspoon weighs closer to 5-6 g and carries far more sugar. When a plating recipe calls for 'a teaspoon of raspberry,' check whether it means a fresh berry or a sauce dot — the visual is similar but the flavor intensity is not.
• Can I use freeze-dried raspberry powder by the teaspoon instead?
  Yes, for color and concentrated flavor in buttercream, macaron shells, or whipped cream. One teaspoon of freeze-dried raspberry powder weighs only 1-1.5 g but carries the punch of several fresh berries, so start small. It won't add moisture the way a fresh berry would, which is exactly why it works in dry meringue and frosting bases.
