Measuring 85g of Fresh Blueberries in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of fresh blueberries weighs 148g when measured loose fill, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.57 US cups (½ cup + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ½ cup + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp (9.19 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.
