Measuring 500g of Fresh Blueberries in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of fresh blueberries weighs 148g when measured loose fill, 500 Grams (500g) translates to 3.38 US cups (3 ⅓ cups + 2 ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 ⅓ cups + 2 ¼ tsp (54.05 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.
