Measuring 4 oz of Fresh Blueberries in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of fresh blueberries weighs 148g when measured loose fill, 4 Ounces (113.4g) translates to 0.77 US cups (¾ cup + ¾ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + ¾ tsp (12.26 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.
