things people ask

• How finely do I need to chop walnuts to measure by the teaspoon?
  Chop until pieces are roughly the size of a peppercorn or smaller — otherwise a single half lodges in the spoon and skews the measure. At that grind, a level teaspoon comes in near 2 g. For dukkah-style spice mixes or a streusel topping built one teaspoon at a time, a quick pulse in a mini-chopper is faster than knife work.
• When would a recipe call for walnuts by the teaspoon?
  Single-serving applications: a teaspoon dusted over a baked apple half, pressed into the top of one stuffed date, scattered over a small wedge of brie, or stirred into a teaspoon-scale spice rub for a single steak. It's also the right unit when a recipe calls for walnut crumbs as a finish rather than a structural element — a cake glaze, a yogurt parfait.
• Are walnuts at this scale worth toasting?
  Yes, but toast a larger batch and store the rest. Two grams in a dry skillet scorches before it browns. Toast a half-cup at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, cool, chop, and keep the chopped nuts in a jar in the freezer — a teaspoon scoops straight from frozen for the few weeks before the oils start to turn.
