Measuring 8 oz of Fresh Blueberries in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of fresh blueberries weighs 148g when measured loose fill, 8 Ounces (226.8g) translates to 1.53 US cups (1 ½ cups + 1 ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ½ cups + 1 ½ tsp (24.52 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.
