Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of fresh blueberries weighs 148g when measured loose fill, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.34 US cups (⅓ cup).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup (5.41 tablespoons total) using loose fill technique. Pour dry fresh berries loosely into the cup until flush with the rim. Do not press or crush the berries; standard cultivated round blueberries roll into a natural loose pack weighing 148 grams per cup.
